-OK- HERE IT GOES. I SPOKE TO DOCTORS AND NUTRITIONISTS AND IT SDOESNT MATTER IF YOU GET ALL YOUR Protein, VITIAMINS, MINERALS, Biotin OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU'RE TAKING. IT WILL NOT HELP. YOUR BODY HAS BEEN TRAUMATIZED WITH SURGERY AND UNTIL YOUR YOUR HORMONE LEVELS GET BACK TO NORMAL, THERE IS NO PILL OR SUPPLEMENT THAT WILL HELP. jUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING, MAYBE TAKE Biotin , THATS WHAT i TAKE. ITS ONLY TEMPORARY AND YOUR ARE RIGHT AT THE MARK WHERE hair LOSS HAPPENS. JUST BE GLAD IT GROWS BACK, BUT THAT TAKES TIME. ITS FREAKING ME OUT TOO. I ALREADY HAD FINE hair. BUT AS LONG AS IT GROWS BACK, I"LL BE OKAY- YOU WILL TOO.

hello there..

I would speak to your doctor about the hair loss because that sounds strange..i have had the lap band for some time now..i have hair breakage and thats because I use alot of hair styling products like hairspray...Maybe its the weather..sometimes when seasons change hair shreds? maybe try www.webmd.com or wikipedia.org and key word search hair loss..maybe its ur body adjusting to the changes ur making..Hope this helps..God Bless.!

This is very hard for me, I have waist length hair, have always had long hair and now it's just coming out, it may not seem like that should be so worrisome but oh my is it. I hope we all get through these obstacles without too much difficulty. I am just stressed. Thanks for answering.

I too was banded in November and have experienced Hair loss. It also concerned me for it was at its worse in January/February. It is now fallling out less..just wanted to let you know that it does eventually slow down.

So I dont know.......stinky hair or no hair! LOL ! At least they say it's suppose to grow back.....cant wait!!:)

      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. 🤞
