Thank you sweet Jesus, my hair is finally starting to grow back! I still have some falling out but not nearly as much as before. I was sleeved on April 16th, 2012 and there for awhile I was sure I was going to go bald. I am not sure if the growth is from my daily ritual or just due to time, but either way YIPPEE!

I take 5000mcg of Biotin, the soft gels. 30mg of Zinc, and use Nioxen Shampoo and conditioner. The zinc has really slowed down the Hair loss. I was getting scared there for awhile, but all is good now.

Thanks! I'm taking 2000 of Biotin. Was told by my NUT that any excess is excreted into our urine by our kidneys. I should start taking zinc though

How long post op did your hair start to fall out? This is the first I've heard that I should be taking Biotin or zinc so I better start doing my research. I'm only taking one daily Multi-Vitamin at this point

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
