Susan, I freaked out when I started losing mine too - but I will say it hasn't lasted as long as yours has - I'm sorry to hear that. I too, color my hair regularly and thought that might be a problem. My hairdresser said no, as long as your hair is healthy (on the shaft, not necessarily the root) then you can color and it won't affect falling out from the root. If you see a lot of breakage (shorter strands falling out or shorter strands sticking up) then there may be a problem with the coloring. I started using GNC's hair & nail formula. But I see that you are already doing that. Maybe try drinking more fluid for a week and see how that goes? I'm not a hair stylest, but I can empathize with you! Good luck dearie! God Bless...

Tina, You are doing GREAT! I had my surgery 1/5/04 and I've only down 80 lbs. I was on a plateau for 3 1/2 months and I just broke it the last couple of days with a 5lb loose. I only wish I had lost 100lbs....Girl, you're doing wonderful! Becky

Hi Gina, I was on the iron (still need to be actually) and it did cause constipation. I eat once a week a small bag of popcorn to help in that area. Of course there are healthier options such as fruit, but popcorn seems to do the trick for me. I can't imagine what would be causing the diarrhea, but certainly if it continues I would push your Dr. to do more testing. Good luck! Kim R/az

Tina,Tina,Tina, you have lost over 100 pounds!!!! Good God girl, you are doing great!!!!!!!!~Hugs~Jerrie

I started losing hair about 6 months out. Thank goodness I had a lot to start with because I am still having lots of problems with it. I take a handful out of the brush every time I brush. Any suggestions? I am really getting worried. I take Avon's Hair Vitamins and all of the supplements that the doctor ordered. I also thought maybe I should stop coloring it, but I am also worried about going gray so suddenly!
