I had surgery 10/3, i have not lost any hair yet, but i am worried about taking botin because i hear that some people start growing hir in weird places (ie face etc) should i be nervous? I have read it on other foums.......confused.....

My surgeon says theres no evidence Biotin helps. Hair loss is a normal process of wls. Your body resets itself and when it does, al hairs need to shed and regrow. Sorta like how a bird molts and then looks gorgeous!

I started to taking it months ago and did notice my hair grow. It may not prevent my hair from falling out but it may help with Hair growth.< /p>

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
