My date is comming!!!

My turn is comming up December 2nd. What should my husband and I expect at the hospital right before and after my surgery? What about hair loss? I was told to start iron right away so my hair would not come out by a lady from the GMC store, should I start right away, or should I wait ???

Hi Danielle. My mother had RNY in May and she started taking Biotin before surgery and she has not had any hair loss. I am going to start taking Biotin before surgery also. Tina

Thank you for getting back to me, Where can I get biotin? Should I start taking it now since my appt. is on the 2nd of december? And how did things go for your mom? What type of foods could she eat right after surgery? I know I am asking a lot if questions but I just want to get as much info as I can and be ready for whats to come for me and my eating habbits. So, please be willing to give me as much info as you can and I thank you for doing so.

Hi Danielle! I am also having surgery on 12/2 As far as hair loss, I've read a lot on the boards about taking the biotin, but to be sure you are also reaching your protein goals. They also said to take an adult chewable vitamin, not a kids one because those don't have the things we need to reduce hair loss. Good luck! Pam
