Was wondering who all experienced this, and if anybody knows why it happens? Is it the fast weight loss or lack of Protein and nutrition in the first few weeks or what?

Debly even if you loose your hair it will not be forever, the hair follicle grows three hairs at a time one that is dead, one that is dying and one that is growing, the ones that normally fall after surgery are the ones that are dying anyway, so it might thin out more but only until the new ones grow. Make sure to take Vitamins and such, I know it helps (did a little more research after we talked, but it helps the new one grow faster) but the stress on your body just takes a toll sometimes you get Hair loss (the hair just dies faster) but you just go to decide if the benefits ourweight the cost, maybe the reason your hair is so thin as it is because you don't get good nutrition to your hair (most research shows that us who are overweight or obese are nutritionally depleted).... I really think it will be temporary, but we will love the end result!

Thank you. :). I needed to hear that. I told my husband this and he said not only would he shave his head so we could be twinsies but also that he'd buy be beautiful scarfs to wear while it's growing back. :). I'm gonna start adding Protein and Vitamins NOW in hopes that it won't be too bad. :). I just know I'm gonna lose a lot cause I already do!!! ;)

      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?
