Anyone Not Had Hair Loss?



Recommended Posts

I had a few weeks around month 5-6 where I noticed a lot of hair in brush and on my hands after putting in mousse or gel. My part started looking a little wider. But now it's not bad at all. I'm using Biologe Shampoo and conditioner (love the stuff) and it looks and feels pretty healthy.

It starts around 4 months, slows down at 9 months, and stops at about a year. There is really nothing you can do if it's going to happen.

Most of us do lose hair; some more than others. I do have a friend that was sleeved a week after me and really did not lose any hair. She is so lucky!! I lost about half of my hair, between band surgery and sleeve surgery! :(

expect it, the typical from what the nurse told me and I have experienced as many have on this board is 4 to 6 month period then possible reversal.

What helps is Biotin daily. I also use a laser comb and Ovation hair Shampoo (seems to slow the growth and makes hair fine on me but it is not coming out anymore)

For all that you hear from some here - it has really nothing to do with Protein else men would not have been losing hair since we are mostly beef eaters. It is due to a major change to body from the rapid weight loss and should change back over time.

      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?
