7 Months Out And I Have New Hair Growth!



Recommended Posts

I am almost 7 months out , I was sleeved on 8/2/11. I have always been vain about my thick hair, if nothing else was pretty on my fat body, I always had great hair! LOL! When I started losing hair by the HANDFUL, I went into a tail spin. I was cleaning hair out of the drains, off the hardwood floors, off the pillow. Nothing helped, not extra Protein, not biotin...I was pissed. Well the Hair loss has considerably slowed and today my hair stylist said she see lots of new growth! WOO HOO! So for those that are worried about hair loss, yes, you lose your hair but YES it comes back!!!! So now if I could only get off this stall and have the scale move again..........

Awesome!!! I'm also fearful of losing my hair.. I already have a spot in the middle that's thinning.... I'm hopeful that I'm losing weight slow enough where I won't have a significant loss... But, you post gives me hope that it will grow back!!! Congrats on being 7 months out!!!

MissBliss,

I was sleeved 8/8/11 and I think my hair might finally be coming back too. My stylist said it's recovered enough to even go back to the coloring she was doing before surgery. I finally get my lovely blonde back this Saturday (and my grey covered). Yay for us!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
