I Am Terrified Of Losing My Hair!



Recommended Posts

Is that as soon as you can start taking Biotin?

Biotin is a very small pill, so I started taking it at four weeks out. I take two pills a day. One in the am and one in the pm.

I actually have some Biotin sublingual in liquid form. Do you think I can take??

I have a custom partial hairpiece I had made 2 years ago because my hair thinned alot from some medication I had to take. It was not cheap- but looks awesome- totally blends in. If the hairloss bothers anyone, this is an option. Just research for a good place. I go to a place in Fort Worth. 1 1/2 hours away but well worth it.

I went from thick to thin...and one year later no regrowth. I am hopeful, but if it doesn't come back oh well. Less $ on hair Shampoo & conditioner and less time blow drying and flat ironing. I can do it now in 20 minutes. Before it was an hour.

I would take the hour for more hair, but there is always a good side.

I'm 4 months post op and shedding like crazy! I have very thick hair and lose about two handfuls a day. I can definitely tell it's getting thinner, but it's not coming out in chunks and I have no bald spots. I talked to my NUT today, and I am upping my Protein from 65g to 80g a day, and adding Zinc and Biotin supplements. She said the loss shouldnt last long.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
