I am7 months post op and the last two months my hair is crazy falling out. I'm down 116 pounds and try so hard to get my Protein everyday in case that is why. Even hitting my protein goal I'm still losing it bad. I thought they said that around this time it was supposed to turn around but my seems to have started and is very rapid. Anybody else having this issue. So nervous.

I had my surgery on 8-4 and am losing hair too. I make sure I am hitting my 60 g Protein and take Biotin supplements, seems like a lot of hair though, never had this issue before surgery, Always had thick hair.

I lost hair from 3-9 months post surgery. I was taking Biotin and switched to Viviscal at the recommendation of my doctor. It seemed to help more that the biotin did. My Hair loss also slowed down when I was out of the rapid weight loss phase.

Viviscal has a Hair growth supplement for women (pink box) and Men (gray box). They are usually sold in the hair care aisle vs. the Vitamin aisle. It worked better for me if the biotin is not helping you - you take 2 supplements daily. It is also sold on Amazon if your local drug store doesn't carry it. Where I live, Walgreen's carries it.

      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?
