Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I have noticed my nails being much stronger as well! Definitely a plus. Mine were horribly thin before the surgery. My hair is thinning a bit; but small price to pay in my opinion. W 380/297/160 jenjen_ttu wrote: > I started taking biotin about 2 months before my surgery, just for > a " head start " ...

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I'm sure we have all read and heard things that are TOTALLY different for each of us...so nothing is an " un-truth " my friend. As we all know EVERY ONE is different. We're different in what we can tolerate mentally, emotionally, what we are able to do physically, how quickly we lose the weight, how we maintain it, etc. I enjoy reading what others are going through here..some apply to me, others don't. But I gain strength and an appreciation for life every day by being here and sharing with all of you LOSERS! 365/185/165--I think I can I think I can....chugga chugga chugga Open RNY 08/08/05 Mike Tune wrote: Holy Crap......Im sorry, I was not trying to spread false info, it was just what I had heard at meetings........

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I have had short spikey hair for years, but I promised the Love God if he supported me on my quest I would grow it out...seems like I lied again...since mine is falling out a bit, I may spike it again!!! --- Wang wrote: > I did it.
