    Weight lifting (bodybuilding)

    First off, kudos to you for wanting to regain your strength and build muscle post-surgery. It's important to start slow and progressively work your way up. Since you're 7 months post-op, you've likely received guidance from your healthcare provider, but here's a general idea: Start with low weights or resistance bands to ease into it. Focus on full-body workouts to maintain balance. Try 3 sets of 10-15 reps for each exercise, gradually increasing weights and reps as you get stronger.

    Hair loss???

    The good news is that for many people, hair does grow back to its pre-op glory over time! It's different for everyone, but typically, this hair loss phase lasts for a few months. So hang in there, and you'll likely start seeing improvements soon! As for something other than Biotin to help you out, there are definitely options to consider. You might want to look into hair supplements with essential vitamins and minerals like zinc, iron, and Vitamin D, which can play a role in supporting healthy hair growth. On a separate note, if you've been using a lot of protein-based hair products, it's essential to check for protein overload, which can sometimes contribute to hair issues. If that's the case, finding ways on how to fix protein overload might help improve the overall health of your hair.

    Laser skin tightening?

    In terms of cost, non-invasive options like laser tightening can be more affordable compared to surgical procedures, which often involve more extensive interventions. However, it's important to note that the cost can still vary depending on factors such as the specific treatment, the provider, and the region. BTW, have you heard about PICO Laser Treatment? It's a cutting-edge technology that has shown promising results in various skin rejuvenation procedures. It might be worth exploring as an option for non-invasive tightening. As always, it's recommended to consult with a qualified professional who can assess your specific needs and provide you with personalized advice.
