HI HEATHER ! 
Stop washing your hair so often. #2- take either biotin ( i didnt take that) or try
skin-hair-nails complex- you buy at vitamin shoppe. i have always colored my hair professionally and had it cut/styled every month. Right after surgery- I had it cut to shoulder lenght- becuase of the anesthesia - and my hair was still good - cut and colored until 6-7mos- it thinned out- got brittle like yours and I HATED my once beautiful crown of hair - I started taking the complex above- and within 30 days- I saw less hair coming out- and after 60 days- my hair has restored to not coming out- like before- and I stopped coloring it every4 weeks- I also let it grow in a bit & just colored it myslef over the weekend- with Loreal Preference. I had put a strong conditioner on it Sunday- and sat out in the sun- and it dried- and after the coloring- I could not believe how rich the color and how great my hair felt. .. so that is my advice to you.. try the skin/hair /nails complex- I take 4 a day.. and I can say- my hair has grown now about 2inches - stil a little thin- but I can deal with anything than having brittle hair. Oh and I use everything by Pantene-color shampoo/ conditioner and strong hair conditioner.
good luck!

Hey Donna,
I love the idea of getting together. I don't think I'll be able to this year though. I just bought a house and will move in July. All funds are tied up in that right now.
I hope you all will take tons of pics and post them for those who can't make it to see. That would be great. Let me know where you are going and I'll try to come up with some funds from some where. My schedule is pretty flexible on the date...keep us posted!
Thanks for undertaking this!

Hooray for you Torrey! Isn't this journey awesome and frustrating all at the same time. Life is so much better for me than it was 10 months ago. I can't remember feeling so miserable, but when that pesky scale stays still or (gulp) goes up a little, I freak out!
I am so happy that the darn thing is moving again to the good side for you. It has begun to move again for me too!!!!! 
Here's to the journey!

Hi Heather,
I started using Boitin vitimins suppletment at 3 months out when hair started to fall out. I also got it cut short as I look better with short hair anyway. I do miss the long but not the unhealthy look, so shorter is better for me. I use to color before surgery, but haven't done so since surgery, scared, but there is really no reason to be.
I used teh boitin because Tooter recommended trying it. It has really made teh hair loss bareable and strengthened my nails as well. I started with 2 a day for the first month and take one a day now. I really have noticed a difference from 2 months ago.
I have an aunt who has problems with her nails and suggested she try it. She began taking it about 4 weeks ago and noticed a marked difference in her hair, which she wasn't concerned about and in her nails. She is not WLS patient, but let me know at 2 weeks into her regime she was seeing a marked improvement. I believe it will take longer for WLS folks, but I love how my hair feels now. My hair is thicker then it was pre-surgery, so I will continue to use boitin.
You can find it at Walmart (240 tablets) for around $2 to $3. It lasts quite a while and can't hurt trying at that price.
Hope this was helpful to you.

I just checked on Expedia. Golden Nugget is a 4 star hotel that seems to be pretty reasonable. I have never been to Vegas. You may know the area better, but it would cost me about $580.00 to fly from Birmingham and book this hotel for two nights. I don't know if there is a better deal out there or not. Let us know.
