Ok I have a serious question don't judge me. I am 25# from goal and my buttocks has completely deflated, how do I plump it back up to something minus the weight that I had before?

Hello. I am a 39 year old AA sleeve hopeful. I currently have the lapband and trying to have it revised to sleeve. It has been submitted to insurance, but they are requesting more info from my doctor...

Best of luck to you all.

They do! You would think that since I already qualified for the lapband, that approval for revision would be easy! Not! Right now, they are asking my doctor for "documentation" of my compliance with his diet and exercise plan. How can he prove that? He isn't with me 24 hours a day. He has only seen me four times in the last year... Sigh... Hopefully I will know something soon.

My last Nutrition appt woohoo!!!

Just got back from my last nutrition appt' date=' even though I gained 8 lbs since the last appt she didnt extend it yay! So NUT said she would submit info to surgeon today. 10 mins later I got a call from the surgeon's nurse saying she was going over my paperwork and would submit today! She said anthem blue cross takes between 1 to 2 weeks for approval so I'm hopeful.[/quote']

Hi, I am a african american potential sleever. I just got approved. I would like to know if the Biotin helped with the Hair loss? I am currently in the process of going back natural and would like some tips on how to keep my hair within the process. I am looking to be sleeved in the next 2 months or so!

Thanks!

Hey Ladies! I am on myfitnesspal and use it daily. Feel free to add me! I am MzPecanBrown there, also.

Jewels, I am completely natural and am almost 4 months out from surgery. I have taken Biotin every day for a couple of years now. It supports new Hair growth, so I don't think it actually prevents the loss. It aids in the growing back. I definitely don't want to jinx myself but I haven't noticed any real significant loss. I had some heavy shedding a few weeks back, but that has stopped. I wash my hair weekly, let it air dry, and apply my natural hair products to it as needed. I try not to add any additional stress to it. It's very full and curly, actually it's more full to me now than it was pre surgery. I hope and pray that I don't encounter any significant loss. I am loving my natural! Best of luck to you!

Also, I have been doing really good with my Protein for the last 6 weeks. I never met my protein goal in the beginning, but have gotten at least 70 grams per day for the last month and a half. My surgical team stressed that protein was key in helping to prevent the Hair loss. And my weight loss has been slower after the first month. Last month I lost 10 lbs. I am thinking that the gradual loss may help with hair and skin issues. At least a sista hopes so!

I am almost 2 months out but I havent lost any hair as of yet without any biotin. I have relaxed hair ...not sure if that makes a difference.
