Hello. I had my surgery done 3months ago and have lost 16 pounds so far. I will be getting my third fill this week. I am also loosing hair. Is this normal? I am taking Vitamins but it makes me gag. What would anyone recommend?

If you are losing hair then you are not getting enough Protein. You should be getting between 60 and 100 grams a day. (Some doctors say 60, some say 100. Mine wants me to get 80 to 100 a day)

Congrats to you as you start your journey. Please make sure you get your Proteins in each day. My doctor recommends 64-80 grams.

I to had thinning hair but along with my Multi-Vitamin I took the Vitamin Biotin. My hair has thicken back up and is looking pretty and healthy again. I bought the BIOTIN at Wal-Green. It's also sold at Wal-mart. I wish you much success.

I would just die. I'm finding it really difficult to get 60 grams of Protein per day.

      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.
