It's hit or miss as to whether you will experience hair loss or not. Certainly not meeting your Protein goals does not help. At 3 mths out your should be able to hit the minimum of 60 gms. In fact from what I've been reading many practices are recommending 80 or 100. It's in large part due to the shock to your system from the rapid weight loss. Your body is using all it's Protein resources for nourishment which means it's not using it for hair and nails. Biotin may help a little although my dermatologist says Biotin will likely help more with nails than hair.

Not a lot you can do to make it stop unfortunately. You could slow it down a little by taking Biotin or getting some Nioxin. Just part of the process I'm afraid :(

I would definitely focus on your Protein. But, as others have mentioned, it is all part of the process. I think that we have all experienced something like this. Mine breaks like crazy these days. But, it will get better. I would rather have less hair and less fat!

      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.
