I'm doing great!! I'm down 70 from 225. Have had no issues. My loss has all been without exercise because I found out I had a hip issue about 6 weeks after my sleeve (which I had surgery for in January and am still in rehab for) so I wasn't allowed to do any real exercise. I'm still 30 from my goal but I was a size 18-20 and am an 8 now (would be smaller if it wasn't for my T&A) [emoji16]

Yes it can be THIS surgery that caused the hair loss for YOU. However, any majorly stressful event can cause hair loss. Which means that any type of major surgery can cause hair loss. The type of hair loss is called telogen effluvium. It can be from the weight loss, decreased nutrients, hormone imbalance, the general stress of having a major surgery and sometimes as a side effect to general anesthesia. But just because you didn't have hair loss until this surgery does NOT mean it's the cause for others. Sometimes, it is simply because your body went through a stressful event.

So, I was sleeved 8/4/16 and my hair started falling out about 5 weeks ago. I had what all my friends call "mermaid hair". I've started using Nioxin Shampoo, taking a hair Vitamin (that sugar bear hair Gummy that's advertised) and being more diligent about my Protein. Had all my labs rechecked with my PCP just to make sure there wasn't anything else going on. I feel like the loss is starting to slow and I seem to have a lot of new baby hairs coming in. My PCP said that Hair loss is common after a stressful event, which surgery definitely is!! He said will usually take about 6 months after the stressful event to stop. Which kinda freaks me out because I have to have hip surgery in mid January and I'm afraid that will just kick off another 6 months of losing hair.

I was sleeved 8/4 by Dr Cribbins, he did my mom on 9/4 and a good friend last week. Love him and his office!!! My mom and I did our research of docs before choosing him, including the Nicholson Clinic, Kim Bariatric and a few others. Drs Cribbins/Hamm came VERY highly recommended. Not to mention several of my patients saw them and had excellent experiences. Even my ortho said he wouldn't send him family to anytime but Cribbins/Hamm. They operate at either Plano Presbyterian or Baylor Frisco.
Just my 2 cents.
