I was sleeved dec 10th, my hair is a little thinner, but I had to color my hair last week because the grey was so bad & I go back to work tomorrow. Looks great & no more shedding then I was doing already.

I have been coloring my hair every 4 weeks, since I was sleeved back in October -- I think the coloring helps camouflage the thinning.

I color mine still. I don't think it makes the shedding any worse than what it is already

RED. Go RED. Actually more if a strawberry Blonde. Or a really bright RED. Pink works too

I colored mine 6-8 weeks after surgery.

OTR... At some point, every person you have either provided sound info to, made laugh, or helped to pull back on track, should meet you somewhere in mid-America for a big bash! You're a hoot!

Wait, am I missing something? Does vsg cause you to get grey hairs regardless of age?? Or are the greys unrelated to the surgery?

Grays are unrelated to surgery. I started going gray in my 20s. I dye mine auburn,goes well with my complexion and green eyes

I don't get gray hair. I prefer to tell people I'm growing Fiber optic cable!

I'm a hair stylist and typically, there aren't any medical procedures that would prevent you from coloring your hair (with the exception of chemo or radiation, because this makes your hair more fragile than anything else). So, with that being said, I plan to continue to color mine and I have many clients who have been sleeved and we were still coloring their hair at their regular times. Go for 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! 😞
