I'm 4 months post op and just started tp notice a lot of hair loss :'( I was hoping I was going to be one of the lucky ones that it doesn't seem to be so drastic but I'm beginning to worry already :'( I do very well with my Protein & Vitamin intake daily but I have been reading it just doesn't matter whrn it comes to the hair loss. My main concern now is how long will this take before it stops falling out? I have read up to a year! There will be NO more hair on my head way before a year :'( I do use Nixon shampoo & conditioner to help with the regrowth :-) Any secrets anyone has to help me get through this would be great!! :-) Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App

Holy moly!!! You look amazing! What an accomplishment Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App

That's for sure!! I have the same fear.

O ok that makes sense. I Didn't know that. It will all work out you will be skinny before you know it

I had gastric bypass10 months after I had to have the lapband emergency removed. I have Tuft!!! It was my insurance requirements but the surgeon recommended it. When I had the band put in I also had to do 6 months and I had Harvard Pilgrim. My bariatric Team had control over making the final dicission if they thought I was ready at the 6 month point. I would think most people are because that's what there job is lol.

Mine was also a revision. I hope it all works out O hope the three way call does the trick!

I had to go through the 6 month pre-op!!! I didn't have to meet with surgeon other then the very beginning & at the very end. The process is to prepare you and teach you how to eat proper and make better decision. It also is mentally setting you up for success by meeting with the psychologist. It is very hard to play the waiting game but I think its all for our on good. I also had to loss 10% of my starting weight in those six month to proof to them this is a challange I was reading to take on. Good luck with your process Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App

@@Leopard sleeve I choose the Bypass right of the bat!!! One of the reasons is the amount of weight I need to lose. Second was the success rate. The most important reason was all the data out there and its been around a lot longer. Its the gold star! I'm not against the sleeve. Never really researched it I figured this time around I was going all in. I think its the best decision for me Which ever one you choose you will do great

I had my lapband for eight years before it prolapsed last September and emergency had to have it removed. Ten months later I had gastric bypass done. It took a lot of pros & cons to making the decision but glad I did it. Three months post up and done 55lbs Its been a lot of sacrificing and hard work but its been worth it so far.

I take 4 chewable Bariatric fusion Multivitamin & the sub lingual B12 Thanks I hope so too!!

My hubby is taking me to Coco Beach Fl for my 40th birthday which is in about 4 weeks!!! Last time I flew was about two years ago and I had to ask for an extension :-( My goal in the next 4 weeks is to hit a 60lb weight loss which means another 7lbs to go I'm hoping that will make it so the belt will click! !!! :-):-):-)

I take a bariatric Multivitamin called fusion and a B12 and was very worried it was not enough but just had blood work and all my levels are great. Its 4 chewables once a day and there not bad at all. Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App

Just had my 3 month blood work. Was very worried about Vitamin difficiencey :-( Was already low in vit d, B12 & was on a Iron supplement. Since surgery I was told to stop other Vitamins and focus on a B12 tablet and 4 chewable bariatric Multivitamin. So that's what I've done and my levels are GREAT! !!!!! Vitamin D a little low but has come up 5 pts! ! B12 & Iron are perfect!! Hoping for great levels come 6 months Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App
