HOW NOTICEABLE IS Hair loss AND DOES IT STOP OR IS IT CONTINUOUS?

Well mine was noticable because I already had thinning baby fine hair. I had my vsg done a year ago and I started losing hair at about 5 months and although the falling out stopped, it is still really thin. I just went to the dr and he gave me a spray to help regrow hair, I also take Biotin every day, and use Garnier Fall Fight Shampoo every day. I am thinking that it has helped. I also went to the dr today and they took some blood and put it through a machine and took out the platelets (I think or plasma or something) and then they injected it into my scalp all over, it was about 100 injections. I am hoping that this will stimulate growth.

BUT, even though I have lost hair, had to cut it short and have a few very thin parts, I would not have done anything different. I have lost over 100 pounds and can run a 5k. People call me tiny, slim, slender and skinny. I have lots more confidence and have proven to myself that I am worth working on my health.

Heres hoping all those injections today work. Hurt less than I thought but more than I would have liked for it to. haha

Will be waiting to see if it worked. Mine got thinner, but only my hair dresser and I really noticed. I take Biotin twice a day and see new Hair growth. Also, I have mine longer now to go with my new slimmer look and since I just got hearing aides. LOL!

      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.
