I had my vertical gastric sleeve on July 9, 2012. I have lost 70 lbs since then. I am happier with me than I have been my whole life. However, there's issues I'm dealing with that I am having trouble with. I've plateaued this last month and my hair is falling out like CRAZY!! Anybody have this at 6 months post-op?? I haven't lost a pound!!

Same here. Sleeved July 11th down 70lbs called plumber twice because of hair in clogged drains. Just had my gallbladder removed. scales have not moved. I do know weight will leave at a slower place until I hit goal for maintence. Keep your chin up and don't give up.

I still have my gallbladder because I REFUSED to have it removed or take the medication to prevent gallstones since "it's only preventative instead of for reals". I LOVE where I am. I think if I lost anymore I'd look silly. I'd rather sacrifice my life of eating to eat minimally now to be happy with myself for once!!!! After 30 years!!!

Your hair will stop falling out. I haven't heard of anybody going bald. I think around 8 months is the max. I wish you luck with the gallbladder. I was never offered medication for that. Idk why. Ill find out next week. I had my fair share of kidney stones before WLS and not taking any chance with a gallstone getting stuck. I have 25 more pounds to lose before goal. I am happy where I am, but really pushing for my goal. I should be able to get back to exercising here soon. I wish the best for everybody who has the desire and nerve to undergo this surgery!
