Anyone NOT LOSE their hair?



Recommended Posts

I'm right at 3 months post-op, and haven't lost any hair.

Good thing, since I am keeping my surgery quiet - I don't want friends seeing me losing weight and going bald - they would think I was sick for sure. :biggrin:

I am just making sure I keep the Protein up, and it seems to help a lot.

The other poster is right, it starts around the 3rd month......I don't believe it has to do with Protein because I was doing Atkins once (which was alot of protein) and my hair thinned then also.

Mine is just thinning, noticing more hair on my brush than usual, I have very fine hair so I am not too thrilled.......but it will grow back and so far I am the only one that notices it.

Good luck!

No Hair loss for me. Have been banded for 4 months and started the weight loss process last Nov. I do make sure I get the required protien each day and take Biotin and Vitamin E each day. Not sure if it helps or not but take it just in case.

Forgot to add. I think people react differently when it comes to surgery. 15 yrs ago, at the age of 38, I had gallbladder surgery and because of complications I ended up in the hospital for over a month. My hair turned completely white during that time period. I went right from the hospital to the beauty salon for a good dye job.

I havent noticed any Hair loss. Must be due to something in the diet some are having that it makes your hair come out? I must not have changed whatever it is they changed?

My dr recommended to take your Vitamins and protien daily. I have not lost any hair, in fact my hair has grown even longer since surgery.

      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?
