NO, Not all my hair but a lot of it. Enough that I'm wearing wigs. No I can drink the Protein Drinks just fine. I drink the ones from costco that have 30 grams of Protein per serving.

As I understand it, taking Biotin helps with the Hair loss. I found Biotin at Costco and I usually grind it up and put it in my applesauce. Since it's a big pill, my stomach finds it a little hard to digest sometimes.

I'm taking 10,000 mcg a day of Biotin plus to many to mention other suppliments that are for hair, nails and skin. I get a least 60 grams of Protein a day. So it's not working for me. Puritan's Pride has the 10,000 mcg of Biotin small pills for cheap prices plus buy 1 get 1 free. I just think some people will lose more than others and some might not lose any at all. The wigs are working for me just fine for now anyway.

Drag, I hope things change for you soon. Where did you find the Puritan's Pride?

Nick's Mom, www.puritan.com is the web site to buy them. They are small pills very easy to swallow. This was the first time I ordered from them and I heard about it on this forum. The label says Puritan's Pride Ultra Mega Biotin 10,000 mcg. There are 50 pills in a bottle. When I bought them they were buy 1 get 2 free. They also have a Biotin Shampoo I might try.

I feel sick almost all day! So between Protein drinks I sip on Tazo Zen and that really helps!

My nausea is fine except for when I first wake up. Anyone else feel that way?

I had to use a scaloppine patch as well as zofran and phenergan to get over my nausea, but thank goodness I am good now.

      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?
