Not a question

Just a tidbit of insight from my experience. I had open rny 1/13/00. I have lost 62 pounds so far. I have been having terrible hair loss. I have been eating protein and taking supplements, taking Biotin, a hair formula from GNC, vits, calcium, B12, zinc, etc. I also have hypothyroidism and take Synthroid. I was really concerned that my levels were off. I had my 4 month post op check up this week and asked to have my blood checked. Needless to say, I was within normal range of all findings, protein was excellent, thyroid was ok,etc. The only thing on thelow side of normal was my iron so I'll boost the intake. My point is that we are probably gonna loose hair anyway. My protein level is perfect but I'm loosing gobs of hair. My doc says some folks have it worse than others and it's not neccessarily due to protein intake. So, folks eat your protein, but expect hair loss. He says my weight loss should slow down around 6 months and I should notice new hair growth. I only have 30 pounds to reach goal. Anyway, I'm still happy with my decision and glad I started out with alot of hair,lol. Lou Ann
