Hair Loss After Revision to Sleeve

I am scheduled for 6/17 to have my band removed and revision to VSG. I am only about 15 lbs from my goal and I'm wondering, did any of you who only had a little to lose when being revised, have issues with hair loss? I lost so much hair from about months 4 through 8 with my band and that was pretty much during the time I lost most of my weight. I am praying that I dont have to go through that again! Thanks in advance!

I didn't lose any hair with the band, although I had it in for only 3 months. I began losing hair around 3 months post op and still am...but it's not terrible. Good Luck with your surgery.

Nioxin is a great product to help with hair loss and there is a new product by the men's line Crew but women are only to use the vials that you put directly on the scalp don't use shampoo or conditioner per the vendor rep
