Hi Patti, I bought me some Zinc pills today and some shampoo from the Rogaine people. I have new hair growth, its just not growing very fast, lol. I will let ya know how this works. If the shampoo, Progaine, doesn't work I am going to try some Nurti-ox that is supposed to be similar to Nioxin...Cheaper too! Angela

Every time a morbidly obese person asks me about the surgery, the first place I send them is obesityhelp. I go to a monthly support group and people ask about a place for resources. Here is where I tell them to go. Greg (342/196/175)

I agree, this board is wonderful. OH is such a fantastic place. I don't think I could have gotten this far without it. No matter what your question/quirk/issue you can always find someone who has been there done that and has a t-shirt. Have a great day! Becky R 254/152/145

Topic: Really neat to be doing this together!!

Every since I had my surgery, I have been reading this message board! It is really neat to see all the comparisons!! It seems like most of us have our stalls together, lose our hair together, have our wow moments together,, then back to our stall****ting our "onderfuls" and joining the century club together!! This has been a fun journey to share together!! Just having an "awe" moment!! Thanks for listening!!! You guys are all great!!!

Topic: RE: Hair loss question

Well my problem is my hair was falling out, then it slowed down and now its back again...with a vengeance!!! It stinks!! I even have short stubs in with my longer hair on the top!! People ask me if I got my hair cut that see me all the time!! It stinks and I take vitamins and nothing is changing!! If you find an answer let me know!!! Patti

Topic: RE: Look Older

Don't feel bad..I'm 44 and got asked the same question about the 55 or older club at Ross. It's got to be the thinning hair and lose skin under my chin. That is the only response I've ever gotten like this though. I thought about getting the face lift but you know what? I like who I am and I sure as the hell like the way I look now than over 100lbs ago. So you know what they can all go do?????? Be happy with yourself, you deserve it. I agree with the other posts as well. Go get yourself a new outfit that fits you nice, dye your hair ( I did, Red)...get together with some friends and go out on the town. Congratulations on your success! Deborah W.
