Do AA's experience Hair loss with this surgery?

I believe the answer is yes, Hair loss can happen to anyone but it doesn't happen to everyone. Many people say that supplementing with Biotin will help, but the actual consensus seems to be that biotin helps with regrowth, but if you are one of the unlucky ones whose hair is going to fall out with the weight loss, there's not a lot you can do to affect that.

For me though, I had already lost a great deal of my hair before I had the surgery and continued to lose it after. But since I've been in the process of losing my hair over the past decade (thanks to genetics), I can't blame it on the VSG.

Based on my own experience, no. I didn't notice any more hair loss than usual, maybe because I'm a youngish sleever (was 28 when I had it done) and while I do straighten my hair, I haven't permed it since I was 19 and I rarely color my hair. I also don't wear extensions or braids, so my hair may have started off in a little better shape so whatever "damage" was done from my sleeve perhaps wasn't that bad.

I had surgery July 2014. I have experienced Hair loss. I started taking hair, skin and nail vitamims. I notice a little change but not much. I can deal with considering I am no longer diabetic or have hypertension.
