Side effect: hair loss? I didnt know...



Recommended Posts

Can anyone give me some information on the side effect of VSG - hair loss? Why does it happen, how much will someone loose, will every surgical patient experience Hair loss? I'm scared and mad that my doctor didn't tell me about this.

Any information would greatly appreciated.

This is one of my main concerns too since i have thin hair to begin with!!! Been researching and most everyone experiences Hair loss fromm your stomache and body being in shock from the surgery. Some more than others. The only thing you can do it take your Protein and vitamins!!! i take or at least TRY to intake 100 grams of protein , multi Vitamin , 3000 mcg of biotin( which is especially for hair loss) My calkcium and Vitamin D also B 12. i think the main thing is to try and stop it before it starts happening! i alos have hair extensions lol and gonna try this beauty product from Sally Salon called X fusion! heard its the best thing for thinning hair good luck . Im pretty scared because my sister nearly went bald,Good news is it all grows back !!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
