I am almost 5 months out and I am surprised that I am not bald yet! I can't tell by looking at myself in the mirror, but I know I am losing a lot of hair by the amount that I am losing when I brush my hair. It has slowed down a little, though.

I started loosing lots of hair a few weeks ago. I was sleeved in early December. I read a great article about Hair loss with with loss is you body's reaction to the stress and vitamins/ diet won't prevent it. Reminds me of women who put lotion on to prevent stretch marks. Can't prevent those either, it's either in your genetics or it's not

You can follow everything and then some and you will still lose hair. I got all the Protein, Vitamins, minerals and even took supplements like Biotin and zinc and I'm still losing my hair. Thankfully my hair is naturally curly so it's not terrible, but I can tell a huge difference when I try to pull it back or I don't bother to poof it out.

This freaks me out! I have very fine hair so when I lose everyone will notice.

My doctor told me that in month four I'll start to see Hair loss but by month 6 it will stop. And as soon as it starts to fall out new hair is growing in. Minor comfort but I'll take it!

The one thing I noticed is that it's not just my hair on top of my head, but my body hair in general is falling out, too. My arm hair and leg hair are both noticeably lighter in quantity and you can see where the new hair keeps growing in since body hair grows so much faster.

I'm 4 months out this week and it has definitely started coming out! I remember on my pre op appointment I even had to sign a form stating that I realized things like Hair loss are likely to happen... Yeah it kinda sucks but it will grow back, and if it gets to bad I will buy one of those products like those hair loss fibers you put in your hair!

I did not have much Hair loss. I made sure to eat lots of Protein, and started taking Biotin supplement before I even had surgery.

Hello, my hair loss was horrible.. I always had long beautiful hair.. Around 4 months it started falling out really bad!!! My hair brush and tub were full.. I was taking my daily Protein 60-80, Biotin, and skin/nails/ hair pill, and B12.< /p>

I am 9 months out and finally started seeing new growth... So happy about that as I have been super excited to show my family.

Don't worry about because no one will noticed! Hope this helps!

My hair is falling out like crazy. Started at 3 months out. Thankfully my hair is long and thick so no one has noticed. But- its falling out a lot. It will stop eventually.

Wednesday is 4 months out and my Hair loss started today. I'm bummed - I had finally grown back what had fallen out as a result of meds. Oh well, I'm just hoping I don't end up bald - I've got a very lumpy skull!

I am dreading the hair loss! I'm a hair stylist and always feel so bad for people who have fine/thinning hair. :( I plan on just putting a few tape-in extensions for volume. And yes, if it gets really bad on the too the hair fibers work well to camo Hair loss. There is one good one called x-fusion. Good luck to you all.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
