Anyone else have terrible hair thinning? I'm so self conscious about it and am I'm tears every day. I'm terrified that my students are going to start noticing. I've always had such thick curly hair that it's really noticeable. I'm nearly 4 months post-op right now. I already have been taking my Vitamins and Biotin supplements since I came home from the hospital. Anything else I can do? This is causing me so much stress, which I know is not helping my situation.

I share your pain. I saw scalp at around six months post banding and have upped my Protein and am taking Iron and Biotin. Am now ten months out and holding steady. No big additional Hair loss but no significant improvement either. Gonna see my stylist and discuss next steps.

My hair thinning as well and my hair started at approx two feet long. Sad day when it started going down the drain. :( I had several inches cut off just so I wouldn't have to see my long hair disapperaing. Supposedly it's due to rapid weight loss and will start regrowing when the body adjusts itself to new healthy eating. We will see. In the meantime I try to tell myself it's a small price to pay for my new body.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
