My trouble is that I am very allergic to dairy, so I can't manage to get enough Protein. Anyone have this experience?

I have always experienced a lot of hair loss especially after surgery. My hairdresser suggested Biotin daily and to make sure I brush my hair a lot even if it is only one a day. (I wear mine up all day). Use a brush with bristles simular to what grandma used. When brushing brush the scalp. This messages and stimulates the scalp promoting growth. It has helped mine tremendously! I take 5000 mg of Biotin. Daily

The nutritionist at my hospital recommended Journey hair Balance at BariatricEating.com. It's a supplement, mostly B Vitamins and minerals.

I'm doing a hair loss experiment with my surgery. Other than the first 2 days of Clear Liquids, I've never consumed under 90g of Protein. Now I'm up to 100g and I won't go below that. I also got a keratin treatment 13 days post op (protein treatment for your hair). I'm taking all my Vitamins as prescribed. I'm also going to use olaplex conditioner daily to promote growth and stop breakage.

I've got a few months to go to see if my experiment works or fails, but be assured I'll let you know then!

      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.
