Hi. I have a BMI 37.9. Does anyone know if everyone has to do the pre liquid diet? And I've read that it's possible of loosing hair. I already have very fine hair. Has anybody experienced this?

Hi Debzy! I'm 38 BMI and my Dr. required 7 days of liquid diet. He requires 2 wks for BMI 50 or above.

I'm still pre-op so dont have any personal experiences to share regarding Hair loss, but have read that it's definitely something you can expect. Check out the post-surgery board as there are quite a few threads about it there.

Of course talk to your doctor but what I've read is that Hair loss may happen post surgery. Because your new tummy with be very tender you have to treat it like you would an infant. My doctors say post surgery will be 10 days of liquid, 10 days of pureed, 10 days of soft food then slowly adding in solids. Hope that helps.

I am 7 months post op and I had very thick hair to start with and my hair has thinned alot. It is just now starting to grow back. It also has to do with lack of Protein. Keep good track of your protein in take and try a prenatal Vitamin for hair and nails... Good luck :-)
