anyone NOT lost their hairI



Recommended Posts

I hear so much about everyone losing their hair. Is there anyone out there that hasn't lost their hair? I'm about 9 weeks post op and I hear its about the 3 mo mark. I get about 70 grams of Protein a day so I hope I won't. So anyone out there that didn't lose their hair?

I never lost my hair - been at goal a year. I was good about my Protein and had good luck, too.

Surgery in May Hair loss started in September. I'm still shedding like a Cocker Spanial today. It's very disheartening.

It happens to many...so be prepared...doesn't matter if you do everything perfectly....it can still happen and does happen to many... as you can see only a handful posted that they had not....

My hair is all I got and when it started at the 4mth marked...I freaked. I am still freaking. I have long thick hair to my butt. Now, it is thin. No one has commented on/noticed it to my face - I hope no one ever does. But I see it in the mirror, see in the sink drain, in the shower, in my brush...and I do it all the Vitamins, the Protein, the shampoos, etc..I have spent a fortune on it to be quite honest. . I am at the 10th mark now; it has slowed, but I am still losing. I hate that I think I look okay in clothes again, but hate my hair now when I used to love it. Many have posted that 2 years out is the longest Hair loss has lasted (that I have read on a post), so I hope mine stops in a year since it is already slowing.

Good luck to all of us with this issue.

I'm going on 10wks post-up. My hair has started to shed lots, I try bit to think much about it, as we all know stress will cause it to fall out faster. Grrrrr.

I'm drinking all my Protein and taking Vitamins and still shedding. I'm praying it doesn't get worse on my 3rd month as many say that's when it starts. Fingers crossed it slows down.

i'm 15 months out - lost some from say 9 months to 12 months, but with taking Biotin and silica it has grown faster - so its longer at any rate - longest its ever been in fact - try not to worry - worry won't help it. The sleeve is worth it anyway :)

Wel I might have a different circumstance I have long thick dreadlocks which don't require hair brushing only at the roots. I wash and condition with Pantene and use natural oils to condition my scalp.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
