Anyone with no hair loss?



Recommended Posts

Hello. I'm just wondering if there is anyone who has not lost any hair at all. It seems from reading posts that most people do. Just intrigued to who if anyone has escaped. I have this joy to come in a few weeks I suppose. Thank you.

I'll be 4 months out tomorrow, and if I've lost any hair, it's not noticeable at all (then again, I cut mine really really short in the summer anyway)... that said, I don't know if that works differently for us fellas or what the normal window of time is for this phenomenon to occur.

A lot of help I am, huh??? :huh:

Thank you Truck8595 that does give me some hope. Perhaps I should follow your lead and go for a short haircut anyway. Thank you.

I lost some but not much at all and by 8months it stopped. I think it's because I am a slow looser. I also took the Biotin for the first 8 months. I don't take it anymore. I did have a lot of hair to begin with but just eat a balanced diet and I think it helps.

I've had no hairloss, or if I have it hasn't been noticeable. I had pretty significant hairloss with a c-section 20 years ago, so I was prepared to lose hair again but I didn't. I was pretty lousy (until recently) about taking my Vitamins, never took Biotin. I wear my hair short to begin with. I had 2 surgeries, my sleeve and the next day a hernia repair so I was put under anesthesia twice. I'm six months out.

Thank you everyone, that is reassuring to know you are out there with a full compliment of locks. My weight loss is super slow so fingers crossed.

      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.
