My VSG is scheduled for February 11th and I am so very excited but there's 1 thing that is haunting me. I have long thick beautiful blonde hair and I am so deathly afraid of it falling out is there anything that I can do to prevent this from happening

Biotin! I swear by it. I take Nature Made 5000mg one daily. Some of them on the market are horse pills, and this one is small about the size of a tic tac. Takes about two months for the levels to build up but it does wonders for hair, skin, and nails :)

I also take Biotin 1000mcg it's Cherry flavored and disolves, tastes great. Start taking them now, you will notice a difference in your nails immediately.

Yep. I'm a Nail Technocian and part owner of a hair salon. I recommend Biotin to all my clients. I take 10,000 mg. extra strength once a day. My hair is growing like crazy.

I was also really worried about my hair. I did lose quite a bit, but it just became thinner. It really isn't something anyone but you will notice. It was totally worth it. I'm also taking Biotin and now it's starting to grow back, so it's not permanent. It doesn't happen to everyone, but if it does, it won't be as bad as you probably think.

      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.
