Okay, I keep reading about sleevers losing their hair. I'd like to know if there is anyone out there, six months post-op or more, that did not go through Hair loss. If you were one of the lucky ones can you tell me what you did that might be the difference maker? Thank you.

Well, I am only 1 1/2 months post op, but I have not had any Hair loss. I was told hair loss was a result of not eating enough Protein. I never had any problem eating protein, not sure if that's why no hair loss or not. Also make sure to take your Multi-Vitamin.< /p>

It did not start to come out for me till about 3 months. My nut said they do not know what causes it. I only had slight loss. It is about over now at 6 months out. I have been using Shampoo and conditioner for Hair loss the past month and I also have not lost any weight in the past 5 weeks. I am at a stall. Maybe one of these things is the reason it stopped.

I am 8 months out and didn't lose any hair. I have no idea if this helped...but I used Keranique products on my hair and ate a lot of Atkins bars. I rarely remember to take all of my Vitamins (bad girl).

At four months I started losing hair and it is coming out constantly all over my pillow if I lay down, my car, my clothes everywhere.I've lost a lot of hair. I take my Vitamins and eat enough Protein but that doesn't seem to be the problem.I heard there is nothing you can do but wait it stops around the witty or ninth mo. but I really don't know. I'm taking it in stride.Hair comes back no biggie if it gets too bad I'll wear a hair piece or wig but what does matter to me is the 75 pounds I've lost.

Three months out and no Hair loss, fingers crossed. I've slipped on my Protein intake every so often, so I don't know if that will affect any hair loss. My feeling is that one can improve the odds by maintaining protein in their diet, but that ultimately it is a genetic occurrence. Time will tell.

I started losing my hair at 3.5 months. I take my Vitamins, get enough Protein and take Biotin everyday. I was told that many more lose hair than those who don't, accept it and it will grow back usually around 8-9 months. My hair is fine but I have (had) a lot of it. Hopefully it won't get much worse than it is now. I am thinking about getting it cut short but I don't know if the Hair loss will be more apparent with short hair.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
