  1. @@nikki1980 Why do they not allow vitamins? I've never heard of that.
  2. Yes it happens...a lot there's really not a whole lot you can do. My surgeon said take my vitamins and add zinc. I've been doing that and biotin but it didn't help me. You could be One of the lucky ones though. If it's any consolation I would do the surgery over again in a hear beat. Hair will grow back. Hopefully my waist line won't!

  6. Hello everyone! I went to my surgeons checkup appointment today and I was given paper work for a company called Nascobal They are a bariatric pharmaceutical company that ships monthly vitamins to your home you get : vitamin b-12 nasal spray prescription strength, Multivitamin, Iron+ Vitamin C, and Calcium+ D3 with Magnesium. They will bill my insurance and I pay a co-pay of 20 dollars a month. I'm just wondering if anyone else has used this service, or knows anything about these specific bariatric vitamins? I know they are all chewable. My surgeon thinks it's a great program to get the right vitamins that He feels I need to have and of course you can't beat 20 bucks a month for all of it. Thank you in advance! I hope everyone is doing well
  7. Hang in there you will get it soon enough! Well maybe not "soon" but you will have it again in the near future lol!!!
  8. Oh I know I hate day 1-5 but then I was good.
  9. That's awesome! I'm glad I could help with that 4 million posts, I'll probably get in another million by next year lol!
  10. @@Nikkidoodlebug Hang in there!! I didnt have any hernia repair or anything like that. Hopefully you heal quickly!! Sending a prayer for you!
  11. @@proudgrammy Why thank you! You don't have to wash them very often unless you use a lot of products on them. Maybe once a month. If you don't wear them everyday and are easy in them they can last a long time. My hair blends well because it's not to short I think the minimum is 4 inches or else they may not blend well (you don't want them showing...awkward!)

  16. @@ccol625 Honestly I'm not sure which they used but I couldn't lose any weight on my 3 month supervised diet or else I had a chance of being denied since I was right at a BMI of 40

  20. I agree if your burning a ton of calories through exercise you need to eat more.
