I to have lost a lot of hair, I was taking Biotin but not enough, started taking 5000 mcg a day and have noticed it slow down right after a few weeks. It worked for me.

Yes the maples does it I had to have it the first fill I got because they could not find the port. It is just like an xray but they can see immediately, go into the OR room for it. Just takes a few minutes once they know where it is. I asked Jenn, as I am coming to my year next month she said not to worry they are not charging anyone yet that is over a year and they will send a letter when they would be start charging.

I have a fill it's Tues at 12:30 say hi in the waiting room if you are on this forum. See you there!

I am a month shy of 1 year and I have lost 95 lbs. You have to have some control also it is only a tool. Keep up the great work.

Just try and relax, go into a dark room take a cold cloth put on forehead and take a sleep if you can, You are just nervous. Everything is going to be okay, Good Luck!

Mandine don't change your mind, in a short while you won't need or may not need the blood pressure pills. Be strong this is just a small set back in the big picture. I had surgery at the maples on Oct 14,2008 Good luck! Janet Maybe see you on the waiting room.

Hi Moonbeam, I am not sure if it is my sweet spot. But I have been loosing around 12 lbs each time I go, and I still have emesis sometimes after I eat. So Dr Bracken said I still don't need another fill. I have about 5 12 cc in right now.

Hi everyone glad to see you are doing good. Good luck to those that have gotten surgery and keep trying to those that are waiting for the wt to come off. For me I haven't gotten another fill for 3 times now. Continue to go the the pool Mon-Fri, doing aqua fit and the lap swim for an hour.

Thanks Joel, But it is a little out of my way but like this forum I can at least talk to other people that have had this done and post my thoughts. Thanks Janet

The cost for The maples clinic is 18,375.00. This includes fills for 1 year. Of course there is gas to winnipeg and food. I am lucky I have family in Winnipeg so I stay there. Is Okay because Creighton is small so get to shop in the City a little more.
