  5. Personally I don’t think should add any products outside of oils. I think your hair follicles are sensitive. Same thing has happened to me. Black caste oil helps to make your hair thicker. I stand by that religiously. I also take BioSil morning n night to help with growth. The hair loss will stop, promise. As for dying your hair I would recommend using henna its natural. ?

  8. I’ll keep my fingers crossed but from the other ladies responses, it happens. It’s a part of the process of ur body normalizing.
  9. Thank you for sharing! This is nerve racking smh [emoji1488]
  10. I was beginning to question the competence of my doctors...lol it’s my nerves. I’ve never used tampons lol. I’ve tried them but it’s just not for me lol omg thank you so much for responding I was beginning to cry thinking that this was the worse decision I’ve made in my freaking life! [emoji1488] still on the road to healthy!
  11. I’m 3wks post op from the bypass. Everything was going to great. No dumping. Just getting back in the swing of things...My period has been so far 13 days extremely heavy with clotting (sorry for the details). I’m feeling weak and always tired. I’ve stopped taking the blood thinner as per my surgeon. I spoke to my OB. She says with rapid weight loss it can cause lengthy menses and my hormones are out of whack. She wants to do a PG test!!!! I’m for sure I wasn’t pregnant prior to surgery. That was checked a few times prior. She also would like to do an ultrasound and some other workup. Suggesting birth control! I’m not against it but it wasn’t something I wanted to then hv to get it removed and the process of trying to conceive after a yr post op Please can anyone help with their experiences...

  18. Try not to stress. It happens I work in a hospital. They probably just need more time to prep the room
  19. Omg thank you so much for the info. I walking a lot everyday already so I’m good there. I only do coffee and I only drink it when I really need it. So to let that go shouldn’t be a problem. I already started purchasing everything I need after surgery [emoji16] How do u feel about the vitamin patches? I was thinking about getting them

  21. I’m super nervous about my surgery now. Still waiting on the ins approval but it looks promising. Surgical consult is 12/12. Liquid diet start 12/16 ? Any tips? How soon did you start working out?
