Obviously I am thrilled! No Hair loss no problems. I still take my Bariatric Advantage Vitamin crystals every day, and have added booting, and collogen to my daily Vitamins. Couldn't't be happier! Now for maintaining this weight. If I can do it anyone can. I had my surgery in Marinara del Ray. With Dr. Korman. He is the best! :-)

Really jealous that you've managed to skip Hair loss. Happy for you, but jealous none the less. I really had hoped I'd be able to do the same, but as I sit here nearly bald on the top of my head, that has certainly not been the case. I have not heard of the Vitamin crystals or about taking collagen. Going to have to look into both. What type of collagen are you taking and is that for hair loss or skin elasticity? Thanks!

I take "Bariatric advantage berry crystals", Biotin, collgon (the one for skin. Biotin is for hair and nails. I take a lot of Vitamins and eat a lot of Protein. I actually do not exercise very much do to a back injury. Now that I'm able to see...I know that weight loss is 90% diet. Simple as that. We need to feed our perfect machines. I do cheat I just don't eat a lot of it. :-)

Congrats on your success! I take Biotin also find I haven't had any hairloss. I want to stay taking the collagen also but I don't know what brand to take. Which one do you use? And have you seen any results from it?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
