Hello all! Boy am I glad to have found y'all. I am nearly 6months post op and I am experiencing awful Hair loss. I'm mostly seeing thinning. Have any of you experienced this? Any suggestions?

---

I'll be 5 weeks out tomorrow and its a concern of mine cause its been a struggle to get in enough Protein with hernia repair

When did it start for you? I hear it usually lasts from month 3-6 for most but many say growth comes back strong at 7 or 8 months. How much protein are you averaging each day?

My hair is usually in braids so not sure if that's better or worse -- I also plan to cut off my relaxed ends soon as I haven't had a touch up in over 5 months

My hair is in braid right now too. I had them put in for surgery, but I will be taking them out in the next week because my hair dresser said if you have extensions or hair added to your for braiding then it will only put more stress on the roots and it will fall out quicker, even with the Vitamins, protein and Biotin. . Ugh.. So back to the natural do for now.

Hello AA Sleevers! Happy 2014! I hope everyone is doing well. Had my one month follow up today.. Doc was very pleased..but not happier than I..lol

I've lost 12.5 inches off my waist...Lovin' it!

If you're readin' this thread and are on the fence about VSG surgery..jump off and start your new life!! It has been a blessing for me..and I expect to only get better!

Edited for correction: I meant month and a half follow up, not month. No more doctor's appointments until April now..

Yikes!! I don't rock my natural hair out in public so I'm at a loss

It's been braided for a while - I don't do sew ins

I don't want to relax again cause I know it breaks my hair worse than braids

I'm 5 weeks out today and have had the same braids in since just before surgery

Hi all so happy to have found this group. I was sleeved on January 13 2014. And can I just say. ..I'm hungry. ..lol. I so happy for the surgery but when will I be able to have a tuna wrap. Come on ladies help a sister out.

I was cleared for tuna with l.f. mayo at 4 weeks out but the wrap you may have to wait 6 months or so -- pretty strict restrictions on breads fried foods Pasta rice and sweets

Good luck! Walk sip & take it easy!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
