So I'm 3 months out, will be for months on Nov 27th and my hair was always really thin and fine to begin with, now that im loosing it all, I'm starting to freak. I take my Vitamins every day, I've been also taking Biotin, using an intensive repair Shampoo and conditioner and also using a heat protectent (sp?) when i decide to blow dry or curl my hair. Its starting to get worse and worse. I'm considering getting the jessica simpson clip in human hair extensions to just add some volume and give it some "OMPH" But was just curious to see what anyone else has done and/or tried them before? Any advice would be awesome.

I LOVE MY clip on extensions! Here are some recent pics of me with them on, but with hats on. I'm also posting one from December 2010 first time using them. They are sooo easy.

Also one more thing. I buy them straight. I wash them before wearing (to soften them up) and curl them (hot rollers). I feel too much like Cher when they are straight LOL and I want them to look as natural as possible, which I think they do.

I'm almost 3 months post-op, and my fine/thin hair is starting to fall out faster also. Sleeve4Me- your hair clips look beautiful!

If it gets to the point where you can see bald spots or it's too thin, I may look into getting a weave or extensions. I'm curious to see what others are doing in this same predicament.

edit: Also, would cutting my hair shorter help with volume?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
