Just wondering? Does everyone experience this? I am reading and it seems most do. I am 2.5 months out and so far so good but everytime I shower I look to see if I see hair in the tub.

Not everyone, but it is very common. Congrats to you if you miss this side effect!

Is it because of not properly taking Vitamins or lack of nourishment that causes this?

Those are some of the hypotheses, also the stress of major surgery. But, to the best of my knowledge, they don't have a definitive answer. Most of the people on here were already taking Vitamins before their surgeries.

I take my Vitamins, I eat my Protein, and follow all the rules. I am two months out and my hair is already falling out. I'm pretty scared about it. I'm thinking of getting it cut, but I'm getting married in two months also.

I wish you well. This seems to be a normal situation but I haven't heard much about it from men. Also never once did my team mention it throughout my whole process. This concerns me. It seems it would be an important topic.

I have seen several men comment on it as well. I think it's just more noticeable when your hair is longer and you're pulling a gerbil-sized wad of hair out of the shower drain. :o

9 months post op and I’m still cleaning a wad of hair out of the shower drain at least one shower a week. When I get irked about it I try to remember I’m 5 lbs from goal and it’s just a pesky side effect that comes with the territory 🤷🏼‍♀️

Is the Hair loss noticeable to others? Or just when washing & styling your hair?

I'm tempted to cut back on how many times a week I was mine & just use the dry Shampoo.

      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?
