I'm pre-op but have been on other diets that caused hair shedding. My hair was the length that yours is after the cut, now my hair is a pixie cut due to shedding and peri-menopause (something that you won't need to think about for a bit ;) ) so I chopped. I'm not missing my locks either.

Don't worry, your hair will start growing back by 8 months. Congrats on the weight loss!

I'm 6 1/2 months post op and started losing my hair about two months post op. Today was the first time there was no hair in the drain. I hope this means this hair shedding is coming to an end.

hair, skin, & nails is an awesome vitamin! My mom has been taking it since her surgery (4 years ago) and it's really helped. After having my son my hair was falling out by the handful. She gave me a bottle... I've been taking it almost 4 years myself and nails look good. Hair has stopped falling out... I missed a couple months of taking it... Hair fell out like crazy and nails peeled really bad.

I was taking those prior to surgery. That brand is awesome and it really works! I stopped taking them once I had surgery and started taking sublingual Biotin along with my other chewable and sublingual Vitamins required.

I recently started taking pill form Vitamins (6 months post op). Now that I know I can tolerate the Vitamin pills I will pick up Hair Skin & Nails the next time I go to costco.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
