Generally, hair loss in WLS is associated with consuming too little Protein. So the first thing is to make sure you are eating enough Protein each day.

I have been taking Juvenon for about a decade now - long before I had the surgery. It is not available in the store but only over the internet. In my opinion, it not only slowed Hair loss but also graying. I am 66 years old. After surgery, I was told to abstain from this produce for a few months and when I got permission, I began taking it again. I am now 18 months post-op from RNY and have not noticed any significant hair loss. One of the products in Juvenon is Biotin. Several individuals on this website indicated they took Biotin to prevent hair loss.

      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.
