Hair loss help... Devastated
Kathy66 replied to cuchas's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost alot of hair for about 9 months. It will stop. I took biotin and used alot of volumizing shampoo and conditioner along with volumizing mousse to get through it. My hair came back, but it was so upsetting when it was happening. -
Has anyone had issues with not being able to sleep since you had sleeve surgery? I am a year out and having major sleep issues. Have not slept through the night since my surgery.
-
Yes i was tested for sleep apnea and i was told i didnt have it. The only was i can sleep through the night is with Ambien but i never feel rested.
-
Yes i have been to sleep doctor and had sleep study. Didn't really get any answers.
-
Please let me know if your doctor sheds any light on it. I have been averaging 3 hours of sleep a night and it is really begining to take a toll on me.
-
Me too. I feel like I look really bad?

Vitamins or supplements beside biotin?

I m in the same boat. Went to doctor today just for follow up and they assured me that it will grow back. I m praying they are right. -
I m 4 months out and still struggling with it. Tried Ambien,tylenol PM and Zquil.

Is there anyone out there who did not experience hair loss? Little over 3 months post op and i am so paranoid about this.
-
Thanks for the replies.
-
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I am taking vitamins and getting my protein and water in too. Every time I lose a hair, i feel a sense of panic. Is this the beginning? My hair is fine to begin with.

15 POUNDS DOWN IN FIRST MONTH?
Kathy66 replied to Butterfly85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started the process at 224. I went into surgery at 214. Now i am at 188. My personal goal is 160. I asked my nutritious how to figure if I was on target. She told me to figure out how much weight u needed to lose to get to your 1 year goal and divide by 3. So mine would be 21lbs weight lost at 3 months 21lbs weight lostat 6 months and 21lbs weight lostmore at a year . Total of 63lbs. Hope this helps. -

My surgeon said he removes more bands than he puts in. He does not recommend the procedure due to high complication rate

Keeping weight loss surgery a secret
Kathy66 replied to mandyboo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I didn't tell anyone but my husband and kids. Most people have a negative opinion and i didn't want anyone to try and talk me out of it. -
I developed a rash on my arms and legs too post op and thought i was allergic to my pain meds. Stopped taking them and it went away in a couple of days

Please keep us updated with your progress
