I am at the 6 month mark and my hair started to thin out at month 5. Currently its getting worse lol. and i am a guy with very short hair so its very noticeable now. So i bought me one of these hats to wear at work hahaha. Its funny and my customers love it. Hair always grows back (well except for old age lol) Shall see how it is in the next few months. I have my 6 month follow up in 2 weeks and i get my blood tests done on Monday for Vitamins, CBC and a lipid panel. Kinda curious to see what my cholesterol levels are at because they were very high before surgery.

The hat is a great idea and really cute. It's a good thing it's a cooler time of year!

Any idea how many grams of Protein you generally average per day? I'm curious because I'm right at 3 months post op and I haven't noticed any hair loss... yet, and I'm getting between 100 and 120 gms per day and I'm hoping that will be enough to stave it off. 🤞

if you can get through six months, you'll probably be OK (not everyone loses hair). I started losing mine at five months out, but I didn't lose very much. Highly doubtful anyone noticed.

I live in Florida so its typically still very hot this time of year but the last few days its been in the 40-60's so its nice. as for Protein i probably get around 80-100 grams a day. I still have the fairlife Protein Shakes too. I am going to buy a lab test tomorrow to add to my doctors blood test that i have to take on Monday. Its called PREALBUMIN BLOOD TEST which test for protein malnutrition https://www.walkinlab.com/products/view/prealbumin-blood-test

Yep, I'm a bit south of you, central Florida here. It has been a bit nicer recently.

I drink two Fairlife Proffee's a day on top of lunch and dinner, so I'm hoping that it's enough that the evil Hair loss fairy passes me by. 😡

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
