Biotin did nothing for my Hair loss.< /p>

Many people who are fortunate enough to keep their hair think it's something that they did.. "oh, I ate a lot of fat in my diet and always hit my Protein goals, THAT'S why I kept my hair".. or "oh I took Biotin and brushed my hair with a boars bristle brush 1000 strokes a day and that's the secret" Unfortunately it's NOT that simple. I ALWAYS take all my supplements including biotin, I eat a diet high in fat, I ALWAYS hit my protein goals, I use Nioxin shampoo... and I still lost hair. I KNEW I would because I lost hair after my gallbladder surgery too.. For many of us, it's just a side effect of any surgery.

Very true...the only thing that helps is if you happen to be a slow loser, which most complain about that on the other hand. The rapid weight loss puts our bodies in shock, just like chemo does to cancer patients....and hair falls out. For some not as much as others,and I really believe it has to do with how slowly or quickly we lose our weight. No amount of supplements or Protein, or certain Shampoo is going to change that! :) good luck to you all....oh and btw....the hair always grows back! Lol

agreed. Whether or not you lose your hair under this kind of stress has more to do with whether or not you are genetically predisposed to lose your hair under stress than anything you can do to prevent it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
