Hi I had my sleeve surgery on Nov 30th I have slowly been experiencing increasing hair loss. Is there anyone that has experience with this? How did you resolve it? I am taking in all my proteins and water..I am also losing weight slowly.

I also had my surgery on Nov 30. I am using Keratase shampoo and conditioner and it has helped with the thinning. I have lost 65 lbs so far with 50 or 55 more to go. I am currently stalled there but I know it will pass. How about you? Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App I will have to try that and see if it helps me.. I have lost 43lbs postop. With 100 lost before surgery. I seem to not going any wear for the last 3 or so weeks not sure what i need to do differently. Any suggestions? Sent from my LG-D850 using the BariatricPal App

Hi I'm Amanda and new to the forum. I'm excited my date to talk with my surgeon is tomorrow Nov 12. I have gotten through my 7 month physician monitored diet. I have been approved by my insurance and my date is set for Nov 30th. I'm so excited. Hope to get to learn a lot from others experiences and make some sleever friends on this forum.

Thanks you guys for your responses that helped me a ton!

Don't let me frustrate you. I started losing during my physician monitored diet for insurance. It took me a year to lose 100lbs the last 18 lbs of it was with my pre op diet. I feel that since surgery my progress has been slow.. and it makes me feel the same.. but as I told my doctor this they said everyone loses different and as long as I'm losing it is good..

Yes

You all are my support group also.. I have lost 27 lbs but it tends to fluctuate 3 to 4lbs .. doctors says that everyone drops weight differently as long as I lose I'm doing fine. I lost a big bulk of my weight prior to surgery which makes my total loss 127lbs..I was in a 28 now in a 22 size

At my one month appt they also did blood work for me my vitamin d was low

My weight loss has been slow also. I asked my doctor office about it they said everyone is different.. and to be careful not to drink your carbs

I made it home.. I'm 2 days post open now..doing pretty good so far. Had some soreness in the actually site but nothing past that. Only thing I had problems with was my vitamins they didn't stay down.. will try again in a day or so again. I'm pretty swollen so I don't have loss to report yet.

Yay.. I'm glad someone has the same day as me! ????

Yay! I'm almost there one more day.. surgery Nov 30th..so excited

That is great! Has it been a pleasant process for you? Are you nervous?
