I'm super excited to be getting my sleeve next week...and I'm starting to get nervous. The hair loss issue is starting to freak me out a lil. I have very thick, long hair and I'd like to keep it that way. Besides taking biotin what else can I do to save my hair?

Not much you can do about the hair issue.  It does whatever it does.  If your hair is thick, you'll see it in the shower, but others will probably not even notice it.  You'll be fine.  Congratulations and good luck next week.

You must permanently change your lifestyle if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You can do it!

I am 11 days pre-op and I am nervous too. I have never had any surgery before. just think by next summer we will be able to do things we have not been able to do because of our weight. Cheers to US! Wishing you well.
