Hair loss is normal! When it happened to me- about 5 months post op I went to the dermatologist. He said it was from rapid weightloss- your body goes into kind of a shock. He assured me I wouldn't go bald. I was lucky to start with a thick head of hair. It should stop in a few months. Try not to worry.

Very normal! In fact I am 3 and half months out of surgery and my hair is now really starting to fall out. As you can see from my picture I have thin hair to begin with. I have been taking doses of Biotin gel cap pills daily and treating my hair with Paul Mitchell strong strength hair treatments so that my hair can stay strong, preventing more hair breakage. Every little bit helps, even if you don't believe. I am a woman and will do whatever it takes to slow down this process or try and prevent my hair from breaking off more than it has.

You can find Biotin gel caps at any Walmart, CVS, GNC, Rite Aid, drug store, and grocery stores.... The gel caps are super super tiny!

They say It is very common to experience Hair loss after surgery, although they do not know if it’s the surgery itself or the anesthesia that causes it, but normally you will start noticing a loss 2 to 3 months after a surgery, they say as scary as it is, you will not go bald but in the 3-4 months it can get pretty thin, that after the 4th month new hair is coming in and that its just pushing the old hair out and this whole process can take up to a year to resolve. Which was exactly what happen to me I never took any additional Biotin just my standard gummy vitamins and morning Protein Powder coffee, sure is freakie after the bath Water has drained and the tub is covered. :o

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
