Okay, I keep reading about sleevers losing their hair. I'd like to know if there is anyone out there, six months post-op or more, that did not go through Hair loss. If you were one of the lucky ones can you tell me what you did that might be the difference maker? Thank you.

Well, I am only 1 1/2 months post op, but I have not had any Hair loss. I was told hair loss was a result of not eating enough Protein. I never had any problem eating protein, not sure if that's why no hair loss or not. Also make sure to take your Multi-Vitamin.< /p>

It did not start to come out for me till about 3 months. My nut said they do not know what causes it. I only had slight loss. It is about over now at 6 months out. I have been using Shampoo and conditioner for Hair loss the past month and I also have not lost any weight in the past 5 weeks. I am at a stall. Maybe one of these things is the reason it stopped.

I am 8 months out and didn't lose any hair. I have no idea if this helped...but I used Keranique products on my hair and ate a lot of Atkins bars. I rarely remember to take all of my Vitamins (bad girl).

At four months I started losing hair and it is coming out constantly all over my pillow if I lay down, my car, my clothes everywhere.I've lost a lot of hair. I take my Vitamins and eat enough Protein but that doesn't seem to be the problem.I heard there is nothing you can do but wait it stops around the witty or ninth mo. but I really don't know. I'm taking it in stride.Hair comes back no biggie if it gets too bad I'll wear a hair piece or wig but what does matter to me is the 75 pounds I've lost.

Three months out and no Hair loss, fingers crossed. I've slipped on my Protein intake every so often, so I don't know if that will affect any hair loss. My feeling is that one can improve the odds by maintaining protein in their diet, but that ultimately it is a genetic occurrence. Time will tell.

I started losing my hair at 3.5 months. I take my Vitamins, get enough Protein and take Biotin everyday. I was told that many more lose hair than those who don't, accept it and it will grow back usually around 8-9 months. My hair is fine but I have (had) a lot of it. Hopefully it won't get much worse than it is now. I am thinking about getting it cut short but I don't know if the Hair loss will be more apparent with short hair.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
