I Guys I'm so happy with everything except that I'm having a big issue with my hair. It is falling progressively and I see holes on my scalp. I'm getting my Protein Vitamins and Water in. Why is this happening does it ever stop? What to do?

PS. I meant to say HAIR sorry

Yes. Try Biotin. I was losing a lot of hair too until I started taking it. Now I'm back to my normal hair shedding.

It will stop and you will be thin and healthy!!! Mine started at 3 months and ended at 9. It has all grown back and is just as healthy as ever...but now I am thin.

My Doctor said that abnormal hair loss is a possible side effect of the surgery due to the trauma and stress your body undergoes. He also said that it's just a passing thing and would be fine in a matter of a few months.

Hopefully it will pass soon for you.

It's because surgery is a shock to your system. If you do a thread search up at the top right, under search forum and put in hair loss, there is a lot of information on this.

It usually starts around month 4, gets better around month 9 and stops at a year. For some lucky people, it doesn't last as long.

You can take Biotin all kinds of hair and nail Vitamins, get more Protein, etc, but it will stop when it wants to.

      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! 😞
