I read in another forum that someone started taking Biotin pre-surgery to prevent hair loss after. I just ordered some and plan to start taking now. I really don’t want to lose my hair. Especially because I have long pretty dreadlocks that it took me years to grow. I’m going to research other supplements too post-surgery. Want to be prepared. I’m trying out shakes now to see which ones I can tolerate with my lactose issues. So far I can tolerate the high protein low sugar Boost shake.

Yes. I’m already obsessed with this website. Great information and true stories. It looks like a lot of people have had success. I’m ready for this to happen and get on the right track. I’ve procrastinated for a while. I should’ve done this last year but I was too scared. Now I’m ready! Thanks for the encouraging worlds!

Hi All, I'm new to this support site and wanted to start a new thread for those of us still a few weeks out from surgery. What's everyone doing to prepare mentally, physically, emotionally? My tentative date for surgery, assuming Cigna approves, is Oct. 2. It feels like it's so far away but I'm still trying to prepare now. How long does everyone plan to take off work? Have you told anyone besides spouse/significant other? Only my husband knows because the rest of my family is too judgmental and I'm doing it for me not them. I would love to hear your thoughts!
