Hi, Try talking with your surgeon about Biotin injections. I am getting prepared for the sleeve revision surgery and I am concerned about hair loss, but the office offers couple different types of Vitamin injections you can due weekly or monthly etc depending on what the doc recommends;)

Never heard of Biotin injections....

Have they actually been proven beneficial? Been using the pills, 7

Mos out and while the loss has slowed, it is still there. Blessed to have had a ridiculous amount of hair preop so to others not noticeable. To me, however, it has been way more than I anticipated.

Only benefit? Takes 10 min to dry with a dryer versus the prior- preop 35-40 min.

I had never heard of them either prior to my new doc office. My Wellness coordinator said they are amazing she actually had the sleeve and has had the Vitamin shots and the Biotin shot she says they work great so I'm thinking heck it's worth a try!!! I was told if the doctor prescribes them to you then the insurance should cover them if not they're about $200 per shot that's at my doctor's office. I'll take a picture and post it so you can read about it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
