Amount of hair loss...



Recommended Posts

Ok I am pre-op but experienced massive (or so it seemed) a while ago and tried this stuff I found on-line called "hair essentials" out of desperation and the reviews on their website..... That stuff actually worked! I started seeing little sprouts in about 2 weeks and way less in the sink. 3 things... It grew in gray.... It stops working when you stop taking it and it's a little pricey. I don't sell it or receive anything for advertising, and I quit taking it because Im saving up for my sleeve but it's worth looking into and I plan in going back on it as soon as I have all my surgery money accounted for.

I'm about 8.5 months post-op.. I'm noticing lots an lots of baby hair growth.

I started losing at 3-4 months at slightly alarming rates - mostly noticeable around my hairline. I already have thin hair but lots of it, if that makes sense.

Loss slowed around 6 months, and now the baby hairs are about 1-1.5 inches, and numerous enough to see them "sticking out".

My hair is pretty long, and I've been growing it out for years, so I refuse to cut it off.

Been taking 10,000 mmg of Biotin daily, plus high potency Multi, 2 Omega 3-6-9 supplements, and Calcium

Also always been very on top of Protein. A "bad day" is 60-70 grams. Usually around 80-100. Not sure where I am now...

Bottom line.. Hang in there! If your experience is anything like mine, it will turn around pretty quickly

I am about 2 1/2 months out, and have started seeing more and more going down the drain, in my brush, and on the floor. I am getting it chopped tomorrow morning! I am excited! I will have 14 inches to donate! I'm doing it while I still have enough for someone to benefit from, and if it falls out after it's cut off I don't think I'll care much. I knew this would probably happen, so before I even got the surgery, I said when it starts to go, it's all gonna go! Besides, new hair for a new body? Heck, yeah!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
