Hello Alice


I wish i could answer your question
I don't even know what Biotin is?
The only thing i ever took was spronalacton(sp) for hair and that didn't seem to help me

i just had surgery on the 29th and so far i don't see any change

Good Question though

Thanks Jen

I am not planning on taking biotin since I heard that it doesn't prevent hair loss just encourages new hair growth and isn't specific to your head!  And I don't want more facial hair!

 I just wrote something but I must have hit cancel instead of submit.

Anyways, today is day 3 of me giving up the fake crap.  I think us post-ops rely on it way too much.  I've been only on water but I think I'm going to try dropping a piece of fresh fruit in my water for flavor.  I read a bunch of bad stuff about it in Skinny *****

I started at 324lbs and a size 26.  After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011.  My second daughter was born in September 2013.  I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs.  I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter.  The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls.  My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.

I have been relying on Crystal Lite so much and other sugar-free products that I too decided it was time to change.   Today is day three with no fake stuff.  Jus****er.  I am going to try dropping a piece of peach, orange, or a berry into the water to give it flavor.  

I read that aspartame turns into phlormadehyde in our systems and that it took 7 attempts for the FDA to approve the stuff.  I just read Skinny ***** and I think it's changed my outlook on a lot of crap we put in our bodies.

 I was blessed not to have any up until a few months before surgery.  I think my body had been obese for too long!  And I was at my all-time highest.  I only have a couple and since losing weight they don't seem to be as prominent...if that makes sense.  They haven't gone away though.

 I'm not taking biotin so I don't know that answer, but the weight loss has not yet helped with the hair growth.  I still weigh 250 so maybe it will get better once I'm a lighter.  My hormones have been so crazy since surgery there was actually a time when the hair growth was worse and i was having to shave every day.  That lasted for a couple of weeks.  I also have had non-stop spotting for 3 weeks....but I'm sure it will all work itself out.
