 |  Weird WOW I was at the hairdresser's the other day and as she started combing through my hair she said, "You know your hair is getting thicker!" I hadn't really noticed until she had me bend my head down to look at the top of it in the mirror. You used to be able to see my scalp at various places and my part was rather "wide". Now there is only one little spot that looks thin along my part. I couldn't beleive it.  I am so used to fluffing up my hair so it doesn't look thin that I hadn't noticed it got thicker than before my surgery. I knew it would grow back in after the shedding with the weight loss, I just never thought it would be thicker. My hairdresser said, "well hair growth and health is based on nutrition and your over all health. Not only are you healthier in general but now your hair is showing it." If this isn't a reason to get back to basics and eat my protein I don't know what is!  And on Easter I was sitting at the kitchen table with some friends and one I hadn't seen in a couple of months commented on my hair looking thicker. Anybody else have these results?

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.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Yes, my hairdresser said the same thing to me, as well as my family members and friends. I take 5000 mg. of Biotin supplements which is suppose to help with the regrowth--do you also take this?

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | DianeB, I should put this under STUPID Questions.  1.What time of day should you drink your Biotin? 2.Do you drink it whole or squeeze the liquid out? I know is may sound crazy but I have a friend who is afraid to drink the capsules so she just sucks up the liquid. I saw the Biotin 5000mg in capsules. I bought the 1000mg tablets but now I guess it is not enough mgs since it said take 1 once a day. Thanks |

| You know I forgot about that. I was taking it and when I ran out I didn't get another bottle because my hair wasn't falling out anymore. I think I better get to the store and pick up another bottle.
