If your Hair loss started so soon after surgery it could be a side affect of anesthesia. I have a friend that was put under for a C-section and she experienced rapid hair loss and her doctor told her that lots of people will experience hair loss from anesthesia. Compound that with the rapid weight loss. I am five months post op and my hair loss started last week. I don't wash my hair as often and I don't brush it so often throughout the day.

      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?
