Pre-Op Diet And Hair Loss



Recommended Posts

I started my pre-op liquid diet on Saturday 9/15, my surgery is set for 9/26. I have been doing great so far and have dropped 17lbs, but my hair seems to be falling/coming out significantly more than it has in the past. Its only been noticebly more since starting the diet. I have been taking my Vitamins and thought this was supposed to help prevent something like this.

I want to lose weight not my hair!

Has anyone had this problem, and if so was there a specific Vitamin you took or something you did to help?

I didn't have this problem pre-opt. I started loosing my hair 3 months post op. But I had started taking Biotin and silica to help with hair regrowth and now my hair grows so fast I have to see my hair dresser more often to dye the grays. There really isn't anything to stop the Hair loss, but remember, it grows back and it's a very short period of time. :)

Biotin is amazing! I started using it last month, my surgery will be in December or Janurary. I want to have a lot of hair, so if I loose much after surgery I wont look too scary!

      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.
