I dodged the lapband Hair loss bullet, but I started losing my hair about a month or so ago, not from the band, but from an ovarian cyst. I was turning into an ape with all the extra hormones and pills and now that I've had the cyst removed and am off the pills, poof, hair is coming out. I am told it will go on for a couple more months, or so. I have thick hair, so I hope it will stop before it gets bad. I also want to know why the hair only falls out of your head and not your legs or face or anywhere else.

Im right around the 4 month mark and my hair has been falling out more. I'm upping my Protein, taking Biotin and it was recommended that I switch to a more easily assorbed multi. So I'm hoping this will stop the Hair loss. I've also noticed that my energy is down, weight loss has tapered and my depression and anxiety is not under control as before. So I'm hoping this is all related.

      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! 😞
