I've lost tons of hair but most of that is my fault since I'm not on top of taking my Multi Vitamins. I use to have hair down to my waist, I recently chopped it off to my shoulders, hopefully it will stop falling off soon..

I too have been loosing hand full of hair. I have been drinking the Protein Shakes and eating as much Protein as my body can take. I also have been more than excellent with the Vitamins. I think it's just our body reacting to the weight loss shock and malnutrition since we cant really eat. I know I personally take 3-4 bites of a lean cuisine and I am done.

Absolutely Kix03, we're all probably nowhere near what we use to eat, plus it was one of the first warnings my doctor gave me, I was just hoping it wouldn't happen to me!! Oh well what can you do, it'll get better!!

I lost about 33% of my hair. I started taking Biotin and silica and it helped my hair grow back faster, but didn't stop it from falling out. Now my hair grows so fast, it's hard to keep it colored....and straightened. LOL I stopped losing my hair around month 6 to 7. :)

Any surgery you have which requires anesthesia commonly results in hairloss due to the trauma... It isually always grows back... Just seems to take forever!

I had more Hair loss with my band and no more than usual with my sleeve. I made sure to get all my Protein and Vitamins in. I thankfully never lost handfuls. Good for me as I do not have thick hair anyways.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
