Who all has lost hair?



Recommended Posts

This scares me some (at the risk of sounding vain). Is there something that can be done to prevent it, or hopefully reduce it? Is it because of deficiency? Does it grow back?

My Hair loss start at 8 weeks and finished 4 months later, which was one month ago. I was really concerned that I was going to have bald spots. It was all frustrating and very scary. It turned out ok. I personally think if you are getting all your Protein their is nothing to prevent hair loss. I did start using nioxin 6 weeks prior to it ending. I am not sure if that helped or if it was it time. You will survive and it will grow back.

Don't forget to take your Biotin. I found sublinguals.

I started taking Biotin during the 6 month supervised diet and continued after my surgery. I am 6 months post op and despite being 60 I have not lost any hair.

Here's the deal..........you already lose hair every single day of you life. You regrow it and don't even notice.

Things get a bit off kilter during rapid weight loss. hair may not regrow as fast as you normally do during this phase.....but you will return to normal rates afterwards.

Don't sweat it.......lose the weight....and deal with the issues that may or may not present themselves during the process.

It's all good.

      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.
