I am new to the board and haven't had a vsg yet, and one of the main reasons is the hair loss. I know it's vanity maybe, or some psychological issue, but my since my hair has been falling out in mass for the past year (since my divorce) I just dread the thought of losing more. For 20 years I have been overweight, and the one thing I heard from everyone is that my hair was so pretty, everyone wished they had my hair. Now even *I don't have my hair. I know in relations to feeling great and losing the weight, the hair loss is minor, but it's still very hard to think about. If I lose more, I will have serious bald spots. I'm trying the suggestions I've received (including taking Biotin supplements) to see if that helps improve my already severe hair loss. But I want the sleeve so badly, and I think it's going to be a must. My health and mobility are deteriorating very quickly (due to obesity) and I think the benefits will outweigh (no pun intended) the side affects in the long run.
Thank you all for being so informative here!
