Has anyone not lost hair?



Recommended Posts

As I've gotten older I've noticed a natural increase in Hair loss. I'm now pretty worried about it post op. I have seen posts of people having loss but most say others don't notice. Has anyone NOT experienced it???

My surgery was 12/17/12 and my hair started falling out this week. I take Biotin daily....get my required Protein in, and take a Multivitamin . I hope it stops falling out soon. Good luck.....maybe yours won't all out.

I had Hair loss at about 5 months out. Freaked out! But it lasted about 6 weeks. Doing way better...it grows back!

I am 1 yr post-op...

I started to lose hair at 6 months post op. It wasn't extreme, but I was concerned.

Thankfully it passed within a few weeks. My hair has been fine ever since!

Keep up with your Vitamins & add Biotin or "Hair, Nails & Skin" Vitamins to your routine, and you'll be fine! :)

Oh yes.... The above is 100% true! Meet or exceed your Protein goal!

If your body doesn't get that minimum amount the first thing to go is your hair!

      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! 😞
