HAIR LOSS!



Recommended Posts

Protein protein protein....biotin I take everyday too. I've heard mixed reviews. I was sleeved sept 28th. I'm blonde and thinner hear too, but haven't noticed a significant amount of Hair loss. What I know for sure is if it happens.....it will come back. Focus on 90 to 100 grams of protein is what my doc says. I've slipped a lil, but getting back on track with my protein. I feel more satiated also when I eat that much protein and sugar cravings subside. Best wishes!

I agree Protein and Biotin maybe help but my Dr. Said it's a waiting game and everyone was different it's just "collateral damage" just like stretch marks and saggy skin. That doesn't affect everyone just "some people" but for those people it can be horrible! So I'm off to take my Vitamins and count my hairs ;)

Hello fellow friends & sleevers,

I wanted to give an update on the hair loss. I am now 6.5 months out and my Hair loss that started at month 3 has officially slowed down, if not almost stopped completely. I didn't start taking anything different, I believe it was just the cycle it needed to run and thank God it seems to be over!! My hair looks fine but I can see it's thinner in the back (where no one can notice much) and from what I read it will grow back over the next few months.

I am a hairdresser and I thought I might be able to shed some light on products such as nioxin.

Nioxin was originally made for cancer patients. It works as an extreme cleanser to remove build up in your scalp. I have not had my surgery yet but I assume Hair loss is from diet changes and things like nioxin won't help because your hair grows from within! Protien, Biotin, and Iron are the best things I can recommend and if you want to speed up growth adding a few drops of mint essential oil into your Shampoo will help stimulate your scalp.

Hope this might help some of you :)

      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. 🤞
