Hair loss?
I've been reading a lot of posts on hair loss. It has me very nervous . I am 5 weeks post op and haven't experienced any hair loss. I am getting my grays colored tomorrow. My question is, has everyone experienced hair loss? And if yes, when did it start and when did you start to see re growth ?

To tell or not to tell? WLS
I told my 3 daughters, boyfriend, and 3 best friends. After surgery I told one of my sisters and couple of other close friends . None of my co- workers, they are very opinionated about diet and weight loss so I told them I had a hernia which I did and have gone on a high protein low carb diet.

Vitamins and cost?
I asked if I had to take anything else, she said no. My next blood work will tell if anything extra is needed. The calcium comes in a patch too.

Vitamins and cost?
Patchmd.com .. A life saver for me. $20 a month. I started with 3 different vitamins that were chewable, the taste made me gag. My nutritionist told me about the patch, change it once a day on the back of my shoulder. Yay
