I had my surgery Dec. 21. 2011 and I started noticing that my edges were getting thin about 2 weeks ago. I just started using castor oil on them and it seems to be working. I'll really be able to tell after more use, but I think it's working.

I had really thick hair to begin with, and I was losing hair starting about 3 months. I would get handfuls of loose hair when I washed my hair. I spoke to my stylist about it.

Normally when she would cut my hair, she would also thin my hair. I stopped that after surgery. She recommended that I not wash my hair as frequently since that seemed to be the time when I lost the most.

I've been washing my hair about every other day. My Hair loss has slowed down a lot. I am about 7 months out now.

Yikes! That's a lot of hair! Is there any Vitamin or something I could take to prevent it?

My doctor had me taking Biotin but I'm newly sleeved so I'm but sure if it helps but it is supposed to. Good luck

      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! 😞
