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

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.

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?

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.

      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!!
