Hairloss percentages ?



Recommended Posts

Couldn't give you a number, but I had no noticable Hair loss at all......just a few strays around the house.

I am not sure of the percentage but i can personally say that i did lose some hair after the surgery.

My nutritious and medical support team warned me that this could be possible. I was told to make sure i got the adequate amount of Protein each day and i will see my hair grow back and stronger nails. Also with the help of my daily Vitamins.

I had no Hair loss at all. This could be a good poll for Alex to post.

Probably 50%. I think I have most of it back now, but not all of it.

I didn't lose much if any. The best thing you can do to prevent Hair loss (and have a successful recovery) is to get your Protein, Vitamins and Water.< /p>

I got all of my Protein every day. I took all Vitamins religiously. I did everything right; and I wasn't that lucky. I think plenty depends on genetics and while not doing things right might contribute to Hair loss, there is nothing you can do to prevent it if its going to happen to you. I think mine was more severe than a lot of people, but most people do lose some. Its pretty distressing when it happens, but it does come back.

I'm going through it right now. It's pretty significant. The below pic is from today's shower (drain fur ball + gentle combing)...this has been going on for a few weeks now. Hoping it lets up really soon. :mellow:

I didn't have Hair loss either, but when I chose surgery I resigned myself to the possibility. I think it is partly heredity but also making sure you take your Vitamins, and eat quality Protein, veggies, & plenty of good fats like avocado and cocnut and olive oil.

      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.
