Chanlissa 15 Posted March 30, 2014 My hair started thinning since week 2 post op surg. I started Biotin 5000mg from Sam's n I promise it made a difference after a week of using it. As of today my hair is not thinning and the the thinned parts has filed In. Biotin is really good. I'm definitely going back on biotin! I stopped taking it because the Vitamins my doctor gave me had about 5000 mcg. But I HATE the vitamins... They make me feel ill, and I haven't been able to get them down at all since the surgery.

O-Town Body Rock 148 Posted March 30, 2014 Hola!Just a quick introduction. Like many of you, Ive struggled with my weight; yoyo dieting, diet pills (off the shelf and prescription) numerous weight loss clinics, etc. Now that I am a little older, I find it even harder to lose weight, and stay healthy (my knees hurt, I'm tired all of the time). Im tired of losing 40, gaining 60. I honestly believe I have totally screwed up my metabolism from all of the torture i have put my body through. I contacted the my local bariatric physican, attended the seminars, did all of the insurance requirements, and ended up paying 100s of dollar in copays and uncovered medical expenses just for the insurance company to deny me. (BCBSIl - no proof of trying to manage high blood pressure.)Anyway, i received 2 quotes for self pay; 1 for $17,000 and the other for $19,000. I can't swing that.Mexico it is. *Nic* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
