So if anyone knows exactly which body chemicals change during the post op process, my doctor had said usually your bodies chemicals change and balance out in about 3 weeks and some people it takes longer.

But i have been unable to find any thing concerning these changes, i know one chemical change causes the hair loss in some and thinning of hair in others..etc....

You know Brian your surgeon or nutritionist should give you an answer to this question.

I do know that if you don't get enough Protein daily that will effect hair loss or hair thinning.

I have been taking chewable Biotin since I could take Vitamins after surgery. You get them from Twinlabs and they are called Biotin Dots.

They reason you take Vitamins and supplements is because we don't absorb the nutrients from our food because it goes through us quickly. I'm sure you know that you must take them permanently to stay healthy.

Well that's all I know.

I don't know if this helps or not but again ask the experts who deal with this everyday.

Take care.

Your body gets thrown into ketosis after surgery which may make your body smell different. This is major surgery and throws your body into a state of shock. It will eventually level out again.

      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.
