@@carolyn_1978, @@Elode .. because you gals are post-op, I'm sure I am not telling you anything new, but my dermatologist said massive amounts of Biotin, zinc and magnesium. She said they are all Water soluble so you cannot over do it, anything your body doesn't use will just slough off. She advised it may take a month to really notice. She also told me that cutting your hair shorter helps (mine is to my hiney so she was advising) because then the Vitamins really have a chance of getting root to tip.... also-avoiding washing your hair or coloring it does NOT effect the growth, just possibly breakage.

      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.
