The sleeve and hair loss.



Recommended Posts

In addition to nioxin there is Bosley Shampoo and a treatment u put in your hair. I was sleeved 9/18/12 and lost a lot of hair also.. This shampoo helped in reducing the amount of lost hair. Don't get me wrong, it still fell out but not as much. I'm finally seeing new growth!

How far out are you? When were you sleeved? Did u take it before the surgery?

I was sleeved May 15, 2013. Best decision I ever made, by the way. Learned about Fish Oil quite by accident. Several years ago my doctor put me on Fish Oil because I couldn't take statin drugs. After a few months I noticed that my hair stopped "shedding" and grew thicker. The post-op diet doesn't contain any fat, that's the reason for the Hair loss.< /p>

I take 1000 mg daily of the Biotin, but I know people who are taking 5000 mg a day..Apparently you can't take too much, you will just pee it out, so I might up mine alittle bit...

3 1/2 mouth post op and losing lots of hair. So afraid of brushing my hair. I take a 10,000 Mg of Biotin daily. I take all my Vitamins as well and 70-80 gm of Protein daily. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I'm happy with the weight loss but sad I will be bald by the time all the weight falls off. My question is...when does it stop? How long does this stage last for? And what else can I do to provent it from falling out so fast? I am desperate... urgh!

Maybe up your dosage to 5000 like the previous note said. I also heard the fish oil helps. Worth a shot?!

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm so embarrassed that I don't want anyone to see me.

No worries ladies.. I'm about 8 months out and it finally stopped around the 6th month.. I have started to notice how much fly away hairs i have now, but all of that is new growth! I also started to wash my hair with a bosley Shampoo on Amazon and that helped a bit.. they also have a treatment but it's a little pricier.. keep taking your Vitamins and keep up with the protein..I promise it will soon stop!

Zija Moringa is what stopped my hair from falling out. It's organic and 100% absobable unlike other Vitamins that are only 8-10% absorbable. It is a mix that you mix with Water. I was able to stop all other vitamins and B12 injections within a week of taking it, and, I've been able to come off all 19 of my meds, even those that weren't weight related, within two weeks. It's pretty amazing. It has every Vitamin from a-z, 7x the vit C in oranges, 4x the vit A in carrots, as much as 4 servings pork has of Vit B, as much as 4 servings Calcium in that of milk, as much Protein as 2 servings of yogurt, as much potassium as 3 bananas, just to name a few. It is used in 3rd world countries that have malnourishment epidemics. What sold me was not what I mentioned in the last few sentences, but that it's a creation of God, not man. :) Moringa's Ninety Nutrients is a FB page with more info and a discount for bariatric patients. Just have to message them and tell them your a bariatric patient. I was paying twice the price for all the vitamins and supplements as what this is and in addition I'm also saying over $300 a month on prescription co-pays that I no longer have to fill.

Go with the highest dose of Biotin that you can find. Biotin will only assimilate so much into your body at once and then dump the rest. You'll retain more in your system if you take a higher dosage. Make sense? I take 10,000 mg a day and I'm still losing hair, but it's to be expected and accepted. Fish oils, flax oil, primrose oil, coconut oils, avocado. Those will also help

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
