Anyone Not Had Hair Loss?



Recommended Posts

Is there anyone out there that did not experience hair loss? I'm 12 days away from surgery and this is starting to really worry me. I have very thick hair so I'm hoping either it isn't noticable or I'm lucky and it doesnt happen to me.

If you have lost hair, how much?

I lost lots starting in month 3 but it stopped at month 9. It never got so bad that people noticed but I noticed. Don't worry--if it's going to happen it will happen and it will grow back. Biotin won't stop it but I got great nails and my regrowth looks really healthy.

Im almost 6 months out and I've lost very little hair. Fortunately, my hair is cut pretty short already, so any loss/shedding is not noticeable at all. I'm still worried that I'm not out of the woods yet. But at this point, I'd think it'd have fallen more if it were going to.

You won't go bald. It'll grow back. There's really nothing you can do to stop it or slow it down, aside from taking care of your overall health. That's about all you can say...

Of course, you COULD take a page from my book and shave your head. I didn't notice any loss at all ;)

We do loose hair. And it is hard to experience it happening. I can't wait until it stops and I have alot of regrowth. ;)

I'm 3 months post-op and I haven't noticed much difference in Hair loss. I know I might be shedding a little more than usual, but it's not noticeable. I've always had super thick hair, so I wasn't really too worried about hair loss. In fact, I was almost hoping (key word: almost ;)) that *some* of my extra hair would fall out. My hair is so unmanageable at times. ;)

I am at just over nine weeks and am just now finding hair in the shower and in my hairbrush. I am upping my Protein supplements (don't feel like eating much) and trying to get back on track with my Vitamins.

I am still happy I did this, even if I were bald. Gosh, I hope I didn't just jinx myself! lol

      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?
