No she's talking about hair loss- doesn't matter how much I work out and lift weights. Plastic surgeon said massive weight loss=excess skin. Regardless of whether u loose it from diet and exercise or wls, skin is skin :(

3 month post op. hair is falling out by the fistfuls. Am now 4 monypths and have been collecting the hair to get a sense. I now filled up a 1 gallon bag of hair, also weight lifting has helped. Got rid of some flab and crested tightness

What did your hair look like when you were loosing it? Did you have obvious bald spots, were you able to hide it?? Did you cut it short or put it up to style?

Does Hair loss happen to everyone, or is there something I can do to prevent it?

      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! 😞
