Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

The only thing you can do is ride it out.
Just keep in mind, you will not go bald like those on cancer chemotherapy do.
Hang in there, ((((((HUGS))))))

Mine was falling out really bad even the texture has changed. It is sooooo scarey! I think it is finally slowing down, I am no longer completely stopping the tub.So remember even tho it looks like you are gonna go bald Docs right! A friend of mine just lost both breasts and is now bald due to Kemo! I no longer fret over my hair. I try new styles and just thank the Lord that I have some to play with.

I think the biiotin only helps with the regrowth. Mine started falling out about 2 months ago and has slowed down a lot. There's hope! You just have to wait it out. And buy Draino. LOL

I take 5000mgs daily of Biotin, and it does help with the regrowth. My hairdresser said it feels so much healthier, my kids are telling me my hair looks so much fuller, I have to agree with them. I just hope it's not temporary, and that it starts to fall out again! I will continue with the Biotin, even my nails are better!! I think my white clothes are whiter too< LOL! Hang in there, it will slow down after your rapid weight loss slows down a bit.

I have always shedded!! With naturally curly hair, I very seldom use a brush on the sides and back. I always finger comb my hair to get out tangles and such unless it wet and always would have hair all over my hands so I am used to it. However, I have noticed that it seems to be a little more than normal. The texture of my hair has changed tho and I picked up a new moisturizing hair mask today to see if it would help. I know it will slow down eventually and get healthier too. Hang in there...we are all in this together.
