    Insight on hair loss?

    Not sure if this will help guys but I suffer from Alopecia from PCOS anyway and this is my regime for keeping ontop of my fuzzy hair Once a month a beer and banana wrap, MASH up both, put on dry hair and then clingfilm once mushed on - leave for an hour then wash out. Once a week use a medicated shampoo such as Vosene. All other times use a shampoo with natural coconut oil, argan oil or even strengthing properties. Added Vitamin called Selenium, it keeps hair, skin & nails healthy. My whole crown is very visible due to this and I'm fine with it but I know the sleeve will help me with it eventually due to reversing PCOS . Hope this helps!

  4. Oh lass prayers incoming - PCOS is a pain in ass and don't let anyone say it's not gonna let you have babies. I was told never happen, fell in in early 2014 and needed blood transfusions, got out St paddys day and found out 2 days later I was 6 weeks pregnant. #kickedpcosass Sent from my HTC One M9 using the BariatricPal App

    Hullo!

    Hi guys, Well after ten years of working with NHS GGC (Glasgow and Clyde) im finally hopefully on my way to getting sorted with a Gastric Sleeve. Only route for us here in scotland is private or via the weight managment system they have in place which is very strict and quite honest a nightmare to qualify for, this is my fifth time doing the course and im JUST managing to stay in place. Ive had the dietician and psychology review and all went well, we now have a 4 week diet which is similar to the diet once your healed past your surgery and have a goal to lose 2-4kg in those 4-5 weeks. After thats its onto four classes every two weeks which you will hear more in depth about things and be prepped for speaking to surgeon within those eight week ----- then the surgeon decides based on medical and how well you followed the diet. complicated huh lol. anyway, have a good evening all and hopefully speak soon!

    Ah gotcha, can't afford private but I'm doing NHS GCC weight programme again (6x lucky!) Got a 4 week trial diet to do then in January for 4 dates we have classes to do and then surgeon appointment. That's after near 15 months of work already. ????

    That's bloody crazy - you totally qualify - I honestly would have complained like crazy! OOH - sleeve is my choice and I think I know the surgeon Mr Gibson in the southie? I know he works at Spire/BMI/BUPA (one of them) and hes lovely. You must be so excited though to start off the journey though, the pre op diet looks insane!

    Hi Kim, that just sucks! May i ask why you were refused, noone can be refused (Unless you lost the 11lb in phase 1?) When are you having surgery, excited, nervous - do you know what your going for?
