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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
