where do I get keratin treatments? Don't mean to sound dumb, sorry...lol. I do use its a 10 products and love them. Yesterday I left the deep conditioner on with a cap for an hr and it really helped a lot, I mean a lot. I will wash it again tomorrow as I have a dr's appt and I will have time to do the same thing and leave the conditioner on there for a while before styling. I can't thank all you ladies enough for caring and all your suggestions. Now if I can only get it to grow back out from my stylist cutting the ends off..grrr but she had to do it.

Donna I'm so glad u did the deep conditons...The Orange cap products from It's a 10 are a Keratin line and u can use the conditioner as a treatment..also Paul Mitchell has a Wild Ginger Keratin treatment..this just came out a few years ago and it's a really nice product..but the Salon treatment is usually pricey...they do also have Keratin styling products that are resonably priced

Sarah, have you ever heard of "Sea Salt" treatments? I was at the dentist today and got to talking with the receptionist and well she knew my mom and well we were talking and she was telling me how she had her hair blond last year and now it's Kim Kardashian black which is her natural color and looks great on her but pryor to that she said her hair was fried and she went to a salon in a nearby city (about an hour away from me) and got 3 treatments (separately) where the stylist used something called sea salt treatments and it worked wonders and her hair was as healthy as healthy could be. So I called today and the girl was able to get me in next week for my first treatment, I'm uber excited. Can't you tell. lol

Let us know how it goes. I'm worried about my hair. It's super thick, but I'm afraid that when I lose the weight it might turn to "cotton candy" as I've heard it referred to about WLS patients. I started taking Biotin 5000mg, 2 weeks prior to surgery and haven't missed a day...even after surgery...I didn't care! I'm super scared to have my hair turn to caca.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
