Kaylee 13 Posted October 30, 2012 Hey everyone! I'm 20 and getting sleeved in TJ, Mexico on December 13 by Dr.Lopez & Dr.Osuna. I was wondering if anyone here has experienced Hair loss after being sleeved...I love my hair lol! Or even if anyone has any general tips or advice for me being a pre-opper?? 1 Yummy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earwood 136 Posted October 30, 2012 I'm 9 weeks out and no hair loss yet but I'm sure it's coming. I have been slacking on my Vitamins so thinking about going to get a pre-natal at GNC that has Biotin in it. Just remember how awesome my hair and nails were when pregnant taking those prenatals. I'm not eating very well either so I need my Vitamins for sure. Anyway, good luck. My experience is Mexico was good so I don't have too much pre-op advice other than get your stitches taken out when they tell you too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damanda 41 Posted October 30, 2012 I loved/ love my hair also. I have used Biotin & silica to try to keep it and boost its growth. I am still losing my hair though. I have heard it passes ( the Hair loss ) after 7-9 months. So right now I just try to focus less on the hair and more on the clothing size I drop each month and wear a lot of ponytails.

kittvalley 5 Posted October 30, 2012 Im going to be sleeved in TJ MX in feb/mar, but I has started taking my Vitamins already, Biotin, D3 and 2 multi gummies. I also have started walking a lot, just to get used to the routine. I am excited too, not so much worried about the hair loss, that comes back. More excited to lose the fat that won't. 2 funinthesun00 and Earwood reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't wait for mine to be melting off too lol. Applesauce sounds like a good idea, maybe I can bring some unsweetened ones or something yikes! I hope my hair doesn't come out wads! Hahaha that last part is so true, and as far as I've researched, the hair comes back! So it's a small price to pay temporarily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had no idea of what form to get Biotin in, but I'll look for it in pre-natal supplements too good to hear that your experience went well, there are definitely different opinions on the Mexico route on this website lol! How long after surgery were you advised to get your stitches out? Good luck on your weight loss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or is it a less focused hair loss and just thinning? I think I could handle the thinning, but not the patches!! That's completely true, everyone keeps saying that it isn't a permanent thing. If you don't mind me asking, what form do you take Biotin in? Are there any odd side effects from it?! Can't wait to be shedding the clothing sizes either. Happy losing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am so excited for the weight to just fall off. I like the idea of taking the Vitamins before and walking, just to get your body used to the routine. I'm definitely going to start that here soon too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damanda 41 Posted October 31, 2012 It is more of a thinning, I used to have very thick hair. I just buy my Biotin at Target 1000 mg that I take daily plus I noticed a smaller dose included in my multi Vitamin. No side effects from anything. I take a multi, Calcium, Omega 3, B12, milkthistle,prilosec and of course Biotin everyday. I also had my surgery in MX. You will be fine. Good Luck Is it enough to notice bald Patches?

ksue 2 Posted October 31, 2012 I am 20 also and did experience Hair loss. About 2-3 months post-op I started getting nervous when my hair fell out in chunks. My shower drain would get clogged so bad. I started increasing my calories a little and that seemed to help. However, I never had any bald spots and no one could ever tell my hair thinned except me. But now I'm 8 months post-op and it seems that all my hair is all back again just like before surgery, if not healthier! 2 Kaylee and Earwood reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yummy 34 Posted November 27, 2012 Tomorrow ill be 4 weeks post op. I was sleeved October 31st. I'm 23 from Cali. I'm scared about the hair loss especially because I have thick hair. I'm taking Biotin and using shampoo/conditioner with Biotin in it. 1 Kaylee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earwood 136 Posted November 29, 2012 My hair just started falling out last week...everyday there is a clump of hair in the shower drain ugh Got some viatmins w/ Biotin and a juicer to start getting more nutrition to see if that helps...pray for me. I don't like this part Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bella86 82 Posted December 1, 2012 I have really curly hair and comb it with conditioner I bit in the shower, haven't noticed an increased loss yet but I'm nervous about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like this part Yikes! That would be very hard to deal with. But like ksue said, the hair seems to grow back after a while! Hold in there girl, I'm sure your hair will come back soon 1 Earwood reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
