Take Biotin but from what I have researched it may happen anyway. It does grow back.

I take 5000 mg of biotin every day and was a band to bypass revision my nails and hair look amazing now I am 4 months out from revision surgery.

One of the reasons why people suffer hair loss is that they do not adhere to the Protein requirements. So make sure that you take the protein supplements each day.

I am 5 days out so far so good had two days of taking pain Meds because I needed them. I take at night to get in a comfortable position the worst part is I am board, my husband is going to help me did out criss stitch items to work on sat. I got to eat cream soup 2 test and it pretty much filled me up. Worse part is stitches are healing and they itch hopefully I won't scratch in my sleep. Any one there wants to talk I am hear

Oh, thank you for bringing up boredom. I have started a room in the house where I'll hangout for recovery. I had a C-section with a very slow recovery. I'm not going to get caught in that situation again. Must plan what to do while I "hang out" because I get bored very easily. There is only so much TV I'll be able to watch in a day, right?

I am 62 and gad my surgery 4 days ago. Looking forward to feeling better and better. Got any speedy recovery stories. My strategy is to stay positive.

Hey ladies, how is it going? I would love to know how you are doing. My legs looked thinner to me already. And my clothes are already loose. It's only been 1.5 weeks. Amazed.
