My surgery is Monday March 16 and I must say that I am getting nervous but excited at the same time. My major concern is losing my hair. I've heard that can happen . Any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening?

Yes it happens...a lot :( there's really not a whole lot you can do. My surgeon said take my Vitamins and add zinc. I've been doing that and Biotin but it didn't help me. You could be One of the lucky ones though. If it's any consolation I would do the surgery over again in a hear beat. hair will grow back. Hopefully my waist line won't! :)

Take your Vitamins, get your Protein, and pray. My Hair loss started around 3.5 months post-op and only really lasted about a month and a half. It never really got to the point where it was noticeable to anyone else. My husband only noticed because the bathroom was COVERED in hair. Didn't take long for the new baby hairs to sprout up and now that I'm almost 6 months out, my baby hairs are over an inch long. So, it does grow back!

@@tmlawson - The hair loss can be a bit worrisome, but it will grow back. My experience is similar to @JamieLogical. No one else seems to notice that my hair is considerably thinner than it was 4 months ago, but I do and my husband does. Just know that YOU WILL NOT GO BALD...lol!! :D

I just got my approval and date and hair loss is also one of my bigger concerns. I was told to drink and get my Protein in as well as take the Vitamins. Hopefully we will both keep our hair but if not maybe we can do those super sexy pixie cuts! ;)

Hair loss is temporary. Your sleeve is forever! Don't let potential hair loss deter you. Would you rather have slightly thinner hair for a few months or be fat for the rest of your life?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
