It got worse until I upped my protien to over 100g a day. Where are you?

hair production is not much of a problem for this guy...before and thankfully after I started getting more Protein.< /p>

Biotin will not prevent Hair loss, although it may (MAY) help with hair growing back in faster.

Most people notice their own hair loss, but no one else notices. If it gets to the point of being noticeable, you can conceal it with Fiber powders such as Nanogen or Toppik, or get a different hairstyle to help conceal it (a layered, short bob with a side part will cover almost any hair loss, at least on a woman).

Saying this as someone who lost most of her hair before surgery due to unrelated reasons -- hair loss is something you can deal with. There are ways to disguise it easily, and with weight loss surgery, it's temporary. I wish mine (from before surgery, I also lost more hair post-op but that came back) were temporary, but it is permanent -- and I still manage just fine. And a little bit of temporary hair loss is nothing compared to how good you will look -- and more importantly how much healthier you will be -- after significant weight loss. I never had anyone say anything to me about my looks after surgery beyond OH MY GOD YOU LOOK FABULOUS!

I have never heard of anyone going bald! Even I didn't go bald and like I said I had already lost well more than half my hair before I even had surgery.

      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?
