Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Sept. 24th and I've recently started losing my hair(lots of hair!).

Is anyone going through this? If so when does it stop? Does it stop?

Help!!!!!

I started at two months out (sleeved 9/5) and its just now slowing down..thsnk goodnesd. Its freaky at first but no one notices but you. I got used to it but it took a fee weeks before it wasnt depressing. Good luck.

everyone i really think the key to not losing your hair is Protein and the Vitamins you take. if you take over the counter vitamins they are not aborbed very well so you are not getting your nutrients. i stick to Celebrate multi complete for a reason. they have all your vitamins in there and you chew two a day. it is so worth the money and they cost around the same as your over the counter ones along with the other supplements you take. i only take those and Calcium my vitamins have everything and they absorb well so you wont have any lack of nutrients. i am almost 5 months out and no Hair loss. and i do focus on protien first so think about it do you want to continue to lose hair or do you want your hair. now i havent heard anyone say there hair was fallen out from taking Celebrate Vitamins if so somone correct me please.

That is so funny about jury duty!!! How far along are you? I am almost 5 months and no Hair loss yet.

I am at 4 months as of the 24th of Jnauary. I have slowed WAY down on weight loss and even gained 3 pounds this week. :( I am eating way too many carbs because they go down so easy and do not upset my stomach as much. I noticed I can eat so much more now too.

TEATIMED- We had surgery the same day and YES. I have tons of hairloss. There are so many different views on why we actually lose hair, but my Dr,. said it is going to happen regardless of Protein, no protein, Biotin, Vitamins etc. But then my nutritionis has the opposite opinion. My hair lady said it was from the anesthesia so who know! LOL

NO Teatimed, not at all. It is worse!! I get scared that it is going to all fall out. When I comb my hair and wash it gobs fall out. I have pretty thick hair and I only notice a little on the part and no one else notices but it has to stop soon or I will have to get that spray on stuff, ha ha.

Kparker....me too! Every time I wash it I'm afraid to look, because I know the brush will be full. I also have (had) thick hair, but now it's just becoming so thin.

Hopefully it will end soon.

I take the Bariatric Fusion Vitamins and i hit my Protein everyday...my NUT told me everyone will see type of Hair loss no matter what just some notice it more. She said it lasts until about nine months out and if you didnt have any then you prob wont. I have tons of little hairs growing back its annoying but ill deal.

kparker- I'm the same way...I often forget to take my Vitamins and I never track my Protein intake.

Guess you can add me to the Sleeve Slacker Club!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
