About 3 months after gastric bypass surgery I noticed some hair loss. Now, 6 months later, I have lost about 1/2 of my hair on the crown of my head. I am in panic mode! Has anyone else experienced this? If so, when does it stop falling out, if ever, did anyone have to get a wig? Does your hair grow back? What can I expect? Any help will be appreciated.

Your lung condition could be a multitude of different things....anything from scar tissue to a shadow! It is very scary I know, but chances are you will be just fine. Good luck with your surgery.

Hi,
I am exactly in the same frame of mind that you are. My surgery is next, having completed all of the requirements thus far. I am doubting the same things you are also. I am afraid of the surgery and the ever-after lifestyle. I read everything I can get my hands on...all the pros and cons. I am afraid I will be one of those people that throw-up daily, that I will test the rules of eating, smoking and diet coke, that I can't eat from a baby spoon, that most of all, that I will never enjoy food again. food and smoking has been my comfort zone for years, I panic at the loss of control over what and how much I can eat. I ask myself if this surgery is really worth giving up the only things I draw comfort from. Then... I think how I wheeze and loose my breath walking more than 10 feet, how when I sit and try to get up and it hurts, how I clean my home with a continuous backache, continuous sweating, my borderline diabetic problems, how people look at me and how I feel about how I look and all my meds for high blood pressure, wheezing, and pain. Sooooo....is the trade off worth it??? Today I think so.
