Anyone NOT lose their hair?



Recommended Posts

I didn't lose hair. It grows at a much shorter rate, and I think it's thinner than it used to be, but I didn't lose any.

Actually, I did "lose" a massive square of belly hair that they shaved off for the surgery (which I didn't learn until afterwards).

Many people experience hair loss. For many people their Hair loss stops when they reach the maintenance phase and they experience hair restoration. Some individuals mention that the texture of their hair changes after recovery. I did not experience hair loss. But I use a product called Juvenon, which is available over the internet. It helps to keep my mitochondria healthy.

My dad used to take that when he had cancer, he said it gave him quite a boost after chemo as well

My sister had VSG a couple years ago and never experienced Hair loss but she was on point with eating a nutrient rich diet and a taking supplements.

I lost lots of hair after having both of my babies. It was annoying but not to the point where my hair was obviously thinning. The regrowth is the annoying part. I hope that if I do lose hair when I get my VSG in a couple weeks its on the same level as that or less.

I have very very thick hair! I have always shed hair a bit. I have not noticed any difference in my hairs thickness and still get it thinned out when I get my haircut. My Protein and Vitamins are on point though and have been since day 1.

I have not had my procedure yet and I go through periods of Hair loss because of my crohns and malnutrition from that. I found that monta hair products are awesome and my hair has grown back thicker and wonderful. FYI I do not sell the stuff lmao. But it is so pricey I spend $100 on Shampoo and conditioner and another $100 on Vitamins. It is worth every penny. I was so sceptical at first but now I am mot

My surgery was April 25. I've had the same hair stylist for the last 20 years. I informed her I was having surgery and to expect some hair loss. This was taken yesterday and my hair is growing and is very healthy. I also get my hair washed, treated and styled every two weeks religiously. I don't even own a comb or brush [emoji53]20160624_192248.thumb.jpg.83246e01b3ae584d6ad773aa1f69b423.jpg

dont want to worry you but most people report loss starting 3 months out. Only a few lose immediately idk why and even fewer can claim no loss at all.

My Hair loss didn’t start until 4 months post-op. If you’re one of the very lucky few that doesn’t happen to, then I envy you. I will be 6 months post-op Monday and my hair is still falling out. I take Biotin and Protein and Vitamins everyday.. it’s just part of the process

If it happens, we'll deal with it. If it doesn't happen, I'm good. I just look at things differently. Thanks for the information.

Seems like you have a bit of an attitude. You can look at them however you want.. I went thru my 3rd month post-op and thought I was one of the lucky ones that beat it, but I was wrong. My hair dresser has been doing my hair for 25 years and I have always had very very thick, long and healthy hair.. now I have thinned and dull looking hair. No matter how many grams of Protein, bitoin and Vitamins and Water you are taking in a day, is not going to stop it if it’s going to happen. I have been taking Biotin for years and 3 months before surgery I was taking in 70-100 grams of protein. I still never get less than 70 a day and my hair is falling out. Like I said, it’s part of the process. No need to have an attitude with people that are telling you what to expect.

I don't have an attitude. I thanked you for the information. I just tend to look at things differently.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
