Biotin and protein are the key

Biotin helps tremendously. My hair was thinning 4 months post opt. I'm two and a half yrs post opt with very thick hair

This is one year post opt. I'm so excited I am scheduled to have tummy tuck and lift on March 18.

Here is one of me. This was taken one year post opt.

I have been taking biotin 5000mg 2 times a day - I am 7 months post opt as of the 4th. My hair is still coming out but not as much as it was in the 4th and 5th month.

I will be three months post opt on Oct 4. I have no regrets about the surgery. I feel awesome! I have been honest and shared with those around me that I had gastric sleeve. Initially, when I told people they were more hesitant that I was going to Mexico for the surgery than actually having the surgery. I prayed about every aspect of having the surgery, going to Mexico and family support. God is so awesome! My surgery was complete in 38 minutes. Within a few hrs post opt I was up walking around- talking with others in the hall- eating ice chips and no PAIN!! I asked my husband if he was sure that I had really had surgery other than my incisions - I felt great! I thank God for a supportive husband and finding a great surgeon to help me loose the weight that I have battled with all of my life. As time approaches you may feel more nervous- I did. But the morning of my surgery- I woke with a great peace within and ready to begin a new life fully trusting that my God was with me through it all!!! And HE still is!!! Sending prayers your way!!

I will be three months out on Oct 4th and Yes I do think that sometimes and then I suffer from it....lol. I am still adjusting. I know my brain has not caught up yet. I have more than a moment or two already..lol.

I had mine on July 4, 2012 and I am doing great! No complications everything was wonderful- total cost $5500

Thank you for sharing! I am two months out and so thankful that I went through this process as well. I feel so much better!! This site has been so helpful to me throughout the process of deciding to go through with the surgery and then post op. Thank you everyone!
