Hi I am 1year and 1 month post surgery and loosing my hair? I know I am not getting all the Protein I need, can anyone tell me if they lost there hair, did it all fall out, how long does this go on, what did you do to stop it? I am terrified, my Dr. put me on prenatal Vitamins but thinking of a wig, my hair is so thin. Please if it has happened to anyone else please advise. Any words of encouragement will be appreciated. Thans in advance.

Thank you for all the replying. My family Dr. Ordered the prenatal vitamins. I am already taking prescription fish oil for triglycerides. Will have my family Dr. Check into other areas I might be low in. Thanks for all the support

Hi, This is my first post. I wanted to post sooner but have had a lot of problems post surgery. I am worried what others will think of me. I decided to have the sleeve surgery after my husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I knew I had to get healthy to help with his care. I had recently been told I was diabetic. The first couple of months were good until I started the mashed and solid foods. I began throwing up, and was nauseated all the time. My Dr. ran tests and all was fine, but couldn't keep food down and was always hungry. I did lose thirty one pounds the first few months but after I began throwing up I stopped losing. One BIG problem is not knowing when I am full, until it is too late and the food comes up. Now nine months later it is getting better but hungry all the time? Is it possible to have stretched my pouch this soon? After being sick I would eat again not to feel empty. I can not believe how much I can eat. I eat light at Breakfast and dinner but at night I want to eat everything. I have not exercise because of the naseau. My problem is eating too fast and too much. I need your advice, did I go throughout this surgery only to fail? I last saw my surgeon three months ago and he told me, since I can hold liquids down just to stick with them. Is that my future? I was so disappointed that I cancelled my next appointment. I have not been back since. Right now i"m winging it, should I seek out another Dr? I hope that someone can advise me, I don't know if my stomach needs tightening or am I doing something wrong. I don't know if my insurance would cover another surgery since my BMI is lowered that accepted. I am sorry to ramble but it has been a heck of a bad nine months. If anyone can help in any way PLEASE feel free. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart or belly! Kathy

Hi, moonlitestarbrite, your suggestion of a dye test is just what I was looking for! Thank you, Kathy

Thank you for all the replies! I hope all those who replied to my post gets to read this, it took me two days to figure how to reply to you. I will try all the suggestions and hope for the best. With all the throwing up and eating after because I was hungry again, could have stretched my pouch out? I can eat almost as much as before my sleeve? Can my pouch stretch that much in 7 months and if yes can It shrink back? Any medical members out there who can answer this? I hate to go back to the Dr. who wasn't concerned about all the throwing up and told me just to eat liquids and mashed foods forever. I hope someone out there can answer this. All so I always feel hungry even after having a meal an hour before? does anyone else have this hunger? Thanks again, Kathy
