You all have helped me, you have no idea. Thought I was losing my mind that I was going bald or something!

I was sleeved a year ago and experienced mild Hair loss. I take Biotin and make sure I eat enough Protein daily and drink Water. I don't know if you wear your hair natural but I make sure to keep my hair moisturized and do low maintenance styles. I notice my hair is starting to grow back fuller now.




I did wear my hair natural that's why I'm nervous about hairloss! But thank you for the great advice!

I'm 7 months out and it's bad. Like a hand full falls out everytime I shower. You can pretty much see bald spots on my head when I put my hair up in a ponytail. I pray that it will slow down here soon.

Have you been using Biotin or hair gummies? When I was going natural I used Jamaican castor oil on my hair because it helps unite hair grow. If you do a oil treatment and massage unite scalp to stimulate out that may help! Let me know if these work for you!

I had Hair loss and my hair got pretty thin, dry, brittle and had a lot of breakage. This happened even though I got plenty of Protein, took Vitamins, lab work was normal and I took Biotin. I tried tons of different shampoos, oils, and essential oils.
What finally worked for me was I started taking powdered marine collagen mixed in my Water every day and I drank a cup of bamboo tea once or twice a day (bamboo tea is high in silica and is good for skin hair and nails). This combinations stopped the hair loss and my hair over a course of about two months got shinier and the breakage stopped.
I am almost three years post op and my hair is back to normal. I occasionally drink bamboo tea just to help it out plus I like the taste.




Thank you for the great advice!

Try Argan Oil, I've got alopecia and it really helps me. Not sure price wise but here in Scotland it's about £20 for massive bottles of Shampoo and conditioner that lasts 6 months.

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

      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! 😞
