Those who experienced Hair loss did you take bariatric Vitamins you get online or did you just take like a chewable Centrum or something???? :)

I take all my Vitamins, bariatric multi, 5000mcb of Biotin, super Omega, and i get all of my Protein in and at just over 2 months it started coming out. At 3 months by the hands full. I had really thick hair so maybe that's why it seemed so bad. I ended up cutting it in a pixie. I am now just over six months post op and it is still coming out just not as bad hopefully soon it will stop. But hey it is growing and already new hair coming in! So worth it! I would have shaved my head if that's what it took to drop 100+ lbs!!! Life goes on! GOD BLESS US ALL!

Bariatric Advantage brand Multivitamin, puritain's pride brand Calcium citrate, puritain's pride brand probiotic and also puritain's pride brand salmon oil. Also I ALWAYS get my full Protein in ... I've been getting 70-90 grams of Protein in since I was one week out and never have a problem in that department.

I also lost hair when I had my gallbladder out. For some people it's just an aftereffect of the trauma of surgery.

I play soccer, swim laps at least 2 days a week (I'm training for a 2.4 mile lake swim in October), and I just started couch to 10k.

And as for Vitamins... I take a prenatal, Omega 3 6 9, Biotin, and B12.< /p>

OMG! I never noticed chunks, but wads of it were in the shower everyday oh and all over the house!

:(.

It does stop though and gets better.. Hang in there. If you need too go buy some hair fibers like topix to make it look fuller.

Holy cow!! Hope it does not worse then that. Maybe brush light until Hair loss phase is done.

Just to be clear.......they mean hair loss from your head. Just back from a beach vacation and the old bikini line was - uh - not affected by VSG Hair loss.< /div>

Ditto that!

What beach did you go to? Ocean or Great Lake?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
