Can anyone give me some information on the side effect of VSG - hair loss? Why does it happen, how much will someone loose, will every surgical patient experience hair loss? I'm scared and mad that my doctor didn't tell me about this.

Any information would greatly appreciated.

This is one of my main concerns too since i have thin hair to begin with!!! Been researching and most everyone experiences hair loss fromm your stomache and body being in shock from the surgery. Some more than others. The only thing you can do it take your protein and vitamins!!! i take or at least TRY to intake 100 grams of protein , multi vitamin , 3000 mcg of biotin( which is especially for hair loss) My calkcium and vitamin D also B 12. i think the main thing is to try and stop it before it starts happening! i alos have hair extensions lol and gonna try this beauty product from Sally Salon called X fusion! heard its the best thing for thinning hair good luck . Im pretty scared because my sister nearly went bald,Good news is it all grows back !!

Every one who looses weight quickly.wether natural or surgical will have some hair loss.but it will come back when we stop losing.just look after what youve got.
