My hair started to fall out about 3 months after my surgery and lasted for a good month I lost quite a bit of hair during that month. I used a Shampoo and Cream Rinse call Nioxin. You can find it on line or check some of your local Hair Salons. After using it for a week, my hair stopped falling out. I really noticed it coming back in about 6 months after the surgery. It is thicker, but I think that it has to do with being curly. Suzanne:001_wub:

I use to be just like you thin and fine hair. My hairdresser said today--oh I just love your curl in your hair. If you have had thin and fine hair for over 60 years and all of a sudden it is curly and crazy--you have to learn how to fix it. I have been having it cut to even it up--but honestly I have a cute wig that I am wearing. I just wondered if any had curly hair after their hair fell out? Take care, Suzanne

The sleeve is the way to go. I see where many people have already answered you and given you information about having a child. I beleive that the sleeve is the way of the future. So I will chime in with my vote for the sleeve too. Since Oct 2008 I have lost 78 pounds. Take care, Suzanne

Hi Everyone, I was thrilled to find this site. I have been on Dr. Aceve's site since I had my sleeve surgery on 10/21/08. I also returned to Mexicali with a friend when she had her surgery. I know that I am always looking for other people to share information with and get answers if I have any questions. One of the strage things that happened after some of my hair fell out was that it has now come back curly. NEVER in my life have I had curly hair. Has anyone hair they hair come back curly? :tongue_smilie: Suzanne

Hey thanks for letting me know about this site. You know me. I always have a lot to say, and I like this site a LOT. I am learning my way around it. I am always thrilled to share my experience with anyone who wants to hear about it. Hugs, Suzanne

Hi Wow you have gone from the band to the sleeve. Congratulations. Life really is great with the sleeve. The longer you have it the better life gets. Take care, Suzanne

Hi Ruthi, I live in Eugene, OR. Where do you live in Oregon. I have to say having the sleeve was the best choice I have EVER made in my entire life. I have a whole new life and just love it. Suzanne

Hi Everyone, I was sleeved in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves on 10/21/08. I have lost 78 pounds so far. I just found this site and I am excited to find it. Looks like there is a lot of great information on here. This has been a life changing event for me. My journey has been wonderful. I only wished I would have done it 20 years ago. The probelm is I didn't know about the sleeved until about 18 months ago. It is nice to be part of this group. I look forward to having the opportunity to get to know a lot of you. I live in Oregon and would love to hear from other people who live in Oregon. Suzanne :thumbup:
