Suzy,

LOL :) I found that as I got heavier and heavier, I started to sprout weird black 'goat hairs' not only on my chin, but on my cheeks, on my double chin, on my upper lip...I am pretty sure my testosterone levels were way out of whack due to my weight. I had my face waxed a few times, BTW, I DO NOT recommend this it hurt like a SOB and my face was beet red (I have very fair and sensitive skin) for at least a day afterward. I finally purchased a NO-NO hair remover thing, it's awesome BTW, and have definitely noticed that as I lose more and more I need to use it less and less, so I think that dependent on factors such as age (pre or post menapausal) etc you should stop growing 'goat hairs' from your chin as your hormones naturally regulate themselves. In the mean time, I suggest the NO-NO, it's is awesome and really works.

Lol I don't know about the chin hairs but don't think it's a definite that you will lose a lot of hair. I am at 4 mos and 1 week and showing no sign of any hair falling out. In fact it grows faster than usual now. Take your supplements and hope for the best!

PCOS could be the cause of the chin hair ladies.

No, but they are easier to find with only one chinny-chin-chin for them to hide on. Once you pass a certain age, I strongly recommend a magnifying mirror and a good pair of tweezers.

Hormone hairs I call them.

Try laser - a m a z i n g. The proper stuff, not ipl or elp or whatever it's called. It's cheap here (well chins and underarms are) and laser hair removal salons are everywhere. It's not a full cure all but has a dramatic effect on making hairs finer and fewer.

But do it before you get too old - I'm postmenopausal and now some of those black goat hairs have turned white and laser no longer works on them!

Plucking makes them thick and my skin now gets quite damaged when they regrow. And boy do they itch when they are just under the skin. Electrolysis is not bad but you have to get a really good operator as many just make the problem worse.

If you are young I'd get checked out for PCOS as per an earlier poster's suggestion.

Good luck with this. If you find a good "cure" please shout from the rooftops, as many of us need to know.

The NoNo works on white hairs too. Although my mom did burn herself a few times, as she has looser skin on her face, and the skin got caught on the wire. If you have looser skin you have to hold it taunt before using the device. I believe they have a money back guarantee promotion. It's an expensive device, but as I said, it works for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
