I had my surgery Dec. 21. 2011 and I started noticing that my edges were getting thin about 2 weeks ago. I just started using castor oil on them and it seems to be working. I'll really be able to tell after more use, but I think it's working.

I had really thick hair to begin with, and I was losing hair starting about 3 months. I would get handfuls of loose hair when I washed my hair. I spoke to my stylist about it.

Normally when she would cut my hair, she would also thin my hair. I stopped that after surgery. She recommended that I not wash my hair as frequently since that seemed to be the time when I lost the most.

I've been washing my hair about every other day. My Hair loss has slowed down a lot. I am about 7 months out now.

Yikes! That's a lot of hair! Is there any Vitamin or something I could take to prevent it?

My doctor had me taking Biotin but I'm newly sleeved so I'm but sure if it helps but it is supposed to. Good luck

      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.
