I've learned here that many of sleevers have experienced sort of hair lose. How can I avoid it. I'll appreciate your advise.

As I have heard there is not much you can do to avoid it. It either happens to you or not. I am 5 months out and my hair is thinning, everyone in my support group suffered some degree of Hair loss, all of them said it came back. I also heard that taking Biotin can help. I have not tried that yet.

My hair is thinner but so far no Hair loss, I don't want to jinx it, but it hasn't happened! Since I got home I am taking cod liver oil capsules, one per day every single morning. I don't know why but I am convinced this is helping me a lot.

I don't think there's a guaranteed way to avoid hair loss; I read somewhere that 30% keep all their hair and the other 70% experience varying amounts of loss. Mine is coming out a lot, but I don't care, I would rather be thin with thin hair than fat with thick hair. Besides, it grows back.

I have yet to actually meet anyone who has not lost hair post sleeve. However, I have met people with extra thick hair who didn't mind losing half their hair. That was not the case with me. My hair was thin to begin with, and just got worse, and worse. It has finally stopped coming out like crazy. I know it will eventually grow back. For now, I'm happy with my extensions :)

I used Noixon Shampoo and it didn't do a thing. I got in all my Protein and took every Vitamin under the sun that was supposed to be for hair. I've been taking Biotin for 5 years.

I lost 2/3 of my hair because I lost it with both the band and sleeve. It's growing in now, and I have little short hairs all over my head.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
