Now they tell me....

I'm 15 months out, and haven't had any noticeable Hair loss, though I did take some hefty Biotin supplements for several months; I stopped those after I developed kidney stones :laugh:, but haven't suffered any subsequent thinning. And I never had any restrictions on beef.

The Hair loss thing never bothered me because I'm already bald...lol...the no beef thing is a new one on me though...I've never heard of that. I've heard that it may be tough to eat for a while, but that was it... good luck... :laugh:

I think the thinning hair has much to do with what type of hair you have too. Post-op, between the 4-8 month time frame I lost 30-40% of my hair. (thank goodness it is growing back now) I tried everything, and I do mean everything, but nothing helped. I have baby fine straight hair and think that has something to do with how easily it is lost.

As far as the beef/steak thing, It is very hard for me to eat such solid/dense meats. I was warned pre-op that bansters have trouble tolerating steak/roast/pork chops.........
