I keep seeing the commercial for the supplement Ruby Reds and I'm just wondering if it's a legitimately good product to use? I'm still pre-op but I'm trying to figure out what supplements would be best to do post op.

Also, is anyone using biotin to keep their hair? I already have sort of thin hair and I'm worried about losing more after surgery. Any tips on what I can do to maintain my hair as much as possible?

And lastly, what - if anything - did you use to help your scars heal/fade? Do you use anything to try firming your skin as you're losing weight?

I take Biotin everyday. 5000 mcg. I have thin hair already and pre-op any time I dieted, I always lost hair. The key post-op is plenty of protein, and to take all your vitamins. I know I'll lose more hair but it will grow back and I'll be skinnier than every too!

I use biotin to keep my hair. Also 5000 mcg. I also use nioxin shampoo, conditioner, and scalp treatments. I found that along with making sure I get 60-80 grams of protein a day have kept my hair from falling out. I honestly think the protein is the most important if I miss a shake for a day or 2 I Notice more hair loss
