I've learned here that many of sleevers have experienced sort of hair lose. How can I avoid it. I'll appreciate your advise.

As I have heard there is not much you can do to avoid it. It either happens to you or not. I am 5 months out and my hair is thinning, everyone in my support group suffered some degree of Hair loss, all of them said it came back. I also heard that taking Biotin can help. I have not tried that yet.

My hair is thinner but so far no Hair loss, I don't want to jinx it, but it hasn't happened! Since I got home I am taking cod liver oil capsules, one per day every single morning. I don't know why but I am convinced this is helping me a lot.

I don't think there's a guaranteed way to avoid hair loss; I read somewhere that 30% keep all their hair and the other 70% experience varying amounts of loss. Mine is coming out a lot, but I don't care, I would rather be thin with thin hair than fat with thick hair. Besides, it grows back.

I have yet to actually meet anyone who has not lost hair post sleeve. However, I have met people with extra thick hair who didn't mind losing half their hair. That was not the case with me. My hair was thin to begin with, and just got worse, and worse. It has finally stopped coming out like crazy. I know it will eventually grow back. For now, I'm happy with my extensions :)

I used Noixon Shampoo and it didn't do a thing. I got in all my Protein and took every Vitamin under the sun that was supposed to be for hair. I've been taking Biotin for 5 years.

I lost 2/3 of my hair because I lost it with both the band and sleeve. It's growing in now, and I have little short hairs all over my head.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
