Minoxidil may be your new best friend, @Dub: topical (I prefer the liquid over the foam but others love the foam) or as a tablet (avoid if you have low blood pressure). Takes a couple of months but you will see regrowth. I use it on my eyebrows and for a thinning spot above my temple (thanks to menopause) and I have visible regrowth. Very excited about my brows coming back in after many, many years and some scar tissue from micro blading. Downside is you have to use it forever. You will see extra Hair loss initially but the it settles and your new hair starts to grow back. It can be a bit expensive but look out for special deals.

Tried to reply earlier…using my laptop. It is acting up…time for a replacement, I suppose.

I have an upcoming appointment with my primary doctor for annual physical. While I am in there I will ask him about this hair wizardry gel you mentioned.

Thank you.

I am sorry you are going through that! I hope it doesn't worsen. The Vitamins have to help some too! My mom takes some of this. Just for health. Wishing you the best. 💗


Many thanks.

On one hand, what am I concerned about…I am a dude. We lose hair at some point…most of us, at least. It is no biggie.

On the other hand I am gonna hold up before grabbing the razor and going scorched earth, lol.

Explore the options and whatnot. Slowing my roll and investigate the possibilities.

Good news is that I am now 1/4 way through my 30 day supply of these bovine collagen tablets…on day 2.

This afternoon I snorted at the neighbors dog and stamped my hoof….didn’t charge, though. Prolly will after a few more days at this intake. :)

You can buy the topical version over the counter at the pharmacy. I buy the men’s 5% Regaine brand (the women’s 2% is useless) but there are other brands. You need a script for the tablet. It’s used for pattern balding as is experienced with aging (& high blood pressure hence avoid if you have low BP).

Horns may prove to be....awkward. :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
