Totally superficial issue - hair extensions after RNY



Recommended Posts

I've always wanted to have long hair, but my hair's so thick, I always get frustrated and cut it before it gets too long. I've decided that I'm going to get hair extensions when I reach my goal, which is about 35 pounds away. About 2 1/2 months ago, I started having the obligatory Hair loss that accompanies surgery. I think it's starting to taper off now, but I'm worried about getting extensions in a few months. If I'm not rapidly losing hair when I am ready to get the extensions, will it be okay? I know this is probably a silly question, but I have absolutely no experience with hair extensions.

My stylist is recommending fusion extensions. She said those are the best kind in her opinion.

This is a fun topic. I have had long hair my whole life, but it is straight and fine. When I lose hair and am thinner, I am going for a short haircut! I'm so excited! I think change is good for all of us. ❤️????????????????????

I bought Clip in hair extensions! I love them. It decreases the Hair loss that occurs from hair extensions. Also, I don't have to sleep in them.

I really like "fancy hair extensions"

The best person to consult for this would be a professional hair stylist that has years under their belt. Tell them your situation and ask them if it would be okay to get them now or to wait a little longer. I would imagine this situation has come up for someone with a lot of experience before. Good luck!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
