Hair Loss Already, less than 2 months out! *WHINE*



Recommended Posts

I'm just here to whine/vent...my hair is already thinning out CONSIDERABLY and I'm only 8 weeks out. I'm getting all my Protein and taking all my multis/calcium/etc. per the instruction of my NUT/Surgery team. I know many people go through it and hopefully it'll be temporary BUT it's still bothering me and stressing me out! If it's already starting now, what's it going to be when I hit month 3-4 when it usually starts being an issue for people??!?! Trying to be optimistic but just having lots of anxiety about it, oh well!

I'm going to add Biotin to my routine, not because it can prevent any Hair loss but because it'll make me feel like I'm at least doing SOMETHING about it.

BLERRGGGG. Rant/whine/vent over!

Be careful with the Biotin. Too much biotin has been shown to encourage facial Hair growth in women...I do not know if you are female but this is usually not a desirable side effect.

The Hair loss stinks but most of us go through it and will grow our hair back.

Many Thanks Kim, last thing as PCOS person wants is more facial hair, I live in Amish Country, don't want to be mistaken for Mr Yoder or Scheckler!

I'm worried about thinking hair, too, because my hair is already thinking terribly. And, I already have to shave my chin and neck every morning like a guy. All of my labs come back normal...no thyroid or hormonal issues, so who knows what's going on with me. I'm actually thinking about buying a wig for post surgery. N

        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
