Hair Loss

[shelbi wallis 6]

I was just wondering how mush Hair loss do people have after the sleeve. I did some research between the by-pass and the Sleeve to see which one would be best for me. I noticed in the pros and cons that it said with the by-pass one of the cons is hair loss, but with the pro and cons one the sleeve is never mentioned hair loss. I brought this up because in my last steps class she said there will be hair loss. Is there a lot of hair loss, or hardly any hair loss?

We also have Hair loss. I don't think it's as bad. But any surgery, stress, or having a baby does the same. It will come back.

That is what I thought. Thank you

I had Hair loss but a decent hair cut helped alot - be prepared to have to cut your hair...maybe

[shelbi wallis 6]

Oh no. My husband will not like that. Lol okay I will prepare. I need a new look anyway. Thank you

I had my Hair loss around 6 or 7 months but I add Biotin to my Vitamin and my hair comes back stronger and thicker. I have bicep thanx to those ghetto hair I have now....lol

[shelbi wallis 6]

Thanks. I will look around for it. It wouldn't hurt if my hair is a little thicker. Lol

I had ALOT of Hair loss starting at 3 months post op but I started using Biotin, nioxin and doo goo and it is slowing down. There is no way I am cutting my hair, I only trim it occasionally, however I have had to decrease the coloring.

Okay, so this is a visual of my Hair loss. This is from my morning bath. There is no way my Hair growth can keep up with this loss. I will be bald at this rate.

I started losing hair about two weekday ago. Ugh...there wasn't a lot there to start with & its frustrating, but I look & feel so good that I don't care as much. We'll see how I feel about it in a few months!

[jhansen71 257]

I sure hope bald and skinny becomes the "in" thing as I am on my way to both. Lol!

[shelbi wallis 6]

Lol. I know how you feel. I hardly have that much hair. If I get this surgery I will probably be bald. Lol. Oh well, at least I will be healthy.

Yes, I'm looking forward to being under 150 pounds in a few months, hope that goal isn't too aggressive, my current weight is 201@ 5'4. Only four more days until surgery on 6/30 with Dr. Alvarez in Maexico.! I am worried a bit about my Hair loss also, I recently had a baby 3/25 and my edges already feel out in two spots near my temples from my c-section, I'm hoping for minimal to no hair loss during this sleeve recovery! Someone suggested I try Biotin, I'll start those after my surgey. great luck to everyone...I'm anxious & nervous, but more excited about be skinny soon & living a healthier lifestyle!

It will grow back. But i tell you what.... the other day, I cleaned out my round brush and it looked like I tried to drown a Yorkie in the toilet!! LOL It's totally worth it though.

My doctor insists that getting enough Protein will prevent it, but I get quite a bit of Protein, and it didn't seem to help. Everyone is different though.
