Hi there :confused: My nutritionist and surgeon say it is a shock from the surgery, some people blame not enough Protein, others suggest taking Biotin as a supplement.

I personally am 7 months out and am still having hair loss issues. I do keep my Protein up where it should be and I started to take Biotin about 2 weeks ago, my nutritionist said that it would help and that eventually my Hair loss would stop when I saw her this past thursday.

So, I probably didn't answer your question real great but I wanted to share what is going on with my hair loss as well, good luck to you!

I had a huge bald spot the size of a silver dollar on the left side of my head. Balder than a baby's azz! It started at maybe 4-5 months after my surgery. I started taking Biotin along with a chewable Multi-Vitamin, and it has grown back plus some, and my nails look great! It takes maybe 4-6 weeks to kick in, but the Biotin works wonders. Good luck!

      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?
