It got worse until I upped my protien to over 100g a day. Where are you?

Biotin will not prevent Hair loss, although it may (MAY) help with hair growing back in faster.

Most people notice their own hair loss, but no one else notices. If it gets to the point of being noticeable, you can conceal it with Fiber powders such as Nanogen or Toppik, or get a different hairstyle to help conceal it (a layered, short bob with a side part will cover almost any hair loss, at least on a woman).

Saying this as someone who lost most of her hair before surgery due to unrelated reasons -- hair loss is something you can deal with. There are ways to disguise it easily, and with weight loss surgery, it's temporary. I wish mine (from before surgery, I also lost more hair post-op but that came back) were temporary, but it is permanent -- and I still manage just fine. And a little bit of temporary hair loss is nothing compared to how good you will look -- and more importantly how much healthier you will be -- after significant weight loss. I never had anyone say anything to me about my looks after surgery beyond OH MY GOD YOU LOOK FABULOUS!

I have never heard of anyone going bald! Even I didn't go bald and like I said I had already lost well more than half my hair before I even had surgery.

      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!!
