Hi GUYS

I have not had my gastric bypass yet but saw an item on their shelf at GNC that MAY help us as we lose hair. It is called VIVISCAL in a pink and white box. Under the title it has Hair growth Program.

Next it reads that is NOURISHES thinning hair and promotes existing hair growth* from within.

60 tablets

Extra Strength

Dietary Supplement

PRICE is 49.99 but it is less right now~

Just sharing to see if anyone has heard of this or is someone has tried it....

You have to be careful with different supplements that claim to help with thinning hair. The reality is if you are one that will shed from massive weight loss there really is nothing that will stop it from happening.

Biotin is the best thing to help with regrow th but it also does not stop it from happening. I have personally talked to several experts on the lass of hair through bariatric weight loss. There really is no way to stop it so you could be wasting your money.

I happen to have been one of the unlucky folks. My hair started falling out by month 3 and it just recently stopped. I am 12 months post op and lost 3/4 of my thickness.

I have been meeting my Protein and Water goals since near the beginning. I have been taking Biotin as well.

The good news is, it did finally stop as my weight loss slowed down and it has been coming back in all along. I have tons of little hairs poking up everywhere.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
