Hello everyone! I had my initial consult with the doc so now trying to get through all the pre-approval stuff I durance requires (I only need medical history from the last year and a psych eval) it took me 3 weeks to see a therapist *rolls eyes*. Anyway, with any major surgery I know you lose hair, but I was wondering if anyone our age experienced this? I have talked to my hair dresser and she suggested prenatals to start NOW as well as through the surgery. Anyone know if this is ok? I know you're restricted as far as stuff that goes down after surgery but I found Gummy prenatals lol so I assumed this would work?

My friend had the surgery last July and her Hair loss is very evident. So before I had my surgery I started taking Biotin pills, actually I started taking all my Vitamins pre-surgery so they can start getting in my system. I did try prenatal pills me bloated all the time so I stopped. But my hair is constantly growing. I would suggest you look into taking the Biotin pills they are a big help

I took Biotin to help me before I got married because there was a specific hair style I wanted and it took me a year and a half to grow it out :-( I have thyroid issues so I have endocrin things working against me which is why I think it took forever. What brand of biotin did you take? I'm not opposed to it again, I just will need to start now if I have to take then again to notice or see a difference. I'm hoping for a summer surgery. Did you have to crush or cut them after surgery?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
