    Hair Loss

    Sarah75 replied to SippNSotaGirl's topic in The Gals' Room

    Ive been doing hair for 20 years...I just got banded on the 6th and anasteshia is the worst mine is breaking...there is an amazing shampoo called Nioxin it helps with breakage and falling out its 3 steps shampoo conditioner an a scalp treatment..it will slow it down..keratin treatments are also a good idea along with 4-6 week trims...add Knox gelatin to warm tea helps strengthen nails and hair

    5 of my family members have either had the band or by-pass..all of them were either glued or stitched up..im 4 days post op and have 5 staples in one incision and 1 in the other 4...i get them out Thursday..but i wondering how many of u out there were stapled..glued or stitched..I wonder if this was just my Dr's preference no one in my family used the same Dr

    They said they would cover the TT..cause the lose skin could cause a rash or cause a change in posture..I know I'm a long long a way from one but was excited to hear they would cover it

    Sounds like I'm one of the few who is stapled

    I'm going ask Thursday why staples and why he did go thru my belly button

    My stomach looks like Frankenstein!!!...I did find out that since i had a C-section with my last baby that my insurance will pick up a TT...hopefully that will rake care of the large scar

    I had hiatal hernia repair also...I thought for sure they were going to go thru my belly bottom also like when I had my gallbladder taken out but they didn't..one of my staple lines is 4 inches long that's the port

    Atnea & 6 Month Supervised Diet

    Sarah75 replied to Krystle Austin's topic in Insurance & Financing

    My 6 month diet that was mandatory by Aenta just consisted of me going to my surgeons office once a month to weigh in...the coordinator put everything together for me I just had to get the 3 standard clearances and have my medical records that showed my weight over the last 2 years on it..never had to deal with my PCP...and I was approved in less then a week once it was all submitted
