October 2012 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I was banded on October 12, 2012 and have lost 35 pounds so far. I have only had 2 band fills with a total of 3cc in my band. My mother was banded several years ago. While I haven't experienced any Hair loss. She did, but her hair is growing back thicker now than ever. She takes Bariatrics Vitamins and Biotin. I'm glad to have found all you fellow October 2012 bandsters!

I haven't started to lose any hair yet. I have started to take optisource chewable vitamins for post bariatric surgery the past 3 days and have lost 3.4 pounds. I'm taking that along with calcium citrate and Biotin daily. I have increased my Water intake.

Ive been losing since mid december..banded 10.23..its been almost 8 weeks and still losing hair... its amazing how everyone reacts different. Ive taken all the right Protein and Vitamins including Biotin and Iron. Still happened. The general concensus is it will stop and come back. Just when and how much is the nagging question.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
