where do I get keratin treatments? Don't mean to sound dumb, sorry...lol. I do use its a 10 products and love them. Yesterday I left the deep conditioner on with a cap for an hr and it really helped a lot, I mean a lot. I will wash it again tomorrow as I have a dr's appt and I will have time to do the same thing and leave the conditioner on there for a while before styling. I can't thank all you ladies enough for caring and all your suggestions. Now if I can only get it to grow back out from my stylist cutting the ends off..grrr but she had to do it.

Donna I'm so glad u did the deep conditons...The Orange cap products from It's a 10 are a Keratin line and u can use the conditioner as a treatment..also Paul Mitchell has a Wild Ginger Keratin treatment..this just came out a few years ago and it's a really nice product..but the Salon treatment is usually pricey...they do also have Keratin styling products that are resonably priced

Sarah, have you ever heard of "Sea Salt" treatments? I was at the dentist today and got to talking with the receptionist and well she knew my mom and well we were talking and she was telling me how she had her hair blond last year and now it's Kim Kardashian black which is her natural color and looks great on her but pryor to that she said her hair was fried and she went to a salon in a nearby city (about an hour away from me) and got 3 treatments (separately) where the stylist used something called sea salt treatments and it worked wonders and her hair was as healthy as healthy could be. So I called today and the girl was able to get me in next week for my first treatment, I'm uber excited. Can't you tell. lol

Let us know how it goes. I'm worried about my hair. It's super thick, but I'm afraid that when I lose the weight it might turn to "cotton candy" as I've heard it referred to about WLS patients. I started taking Biotin 5000mg, 2 weeks prior to surgery and haven't missed a day...even after surgery...I didn't care! I'm super scared to have my hair turn to caca.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
