I was also sleeved in October and I'm losing hair like crazy. Some days are worse than others. My hair stylist said she can "barely" tell...I think she was being nice. I can really tell. Good news is, others on this board have said it slows down in months 7-9. I sure hope so!

Are you taking Biotin? I know there are shampoos that are suppose to help with Hair growth, ie: F.A.S.T. or Garlic Shampoo (smells delicious don't worry) and I think the other one is called Biotene or something, you can look into..I'm 8 weeks out, haven't started losing too much yet but I'm very worried about it so I started using this stuff now..good luck..

I'm just three months out and its alarming how much hair I'm losing. Scary. My Doc said it's cause our bodies think we're starving. She promised I won't go bald and said months 3-6 are the worst.

:"""( I'm loosing mine too. I have fine hair but alot of it. It at least I did before the Hair loss started. It's been going on about 2 weeks now. I wanna cry every day. My hair is about to the middle of my back and it grows really slow so I really don't wanna have to cut it...but I've heard that's the best thing to do....should I??

Yup. You're eating similarly to an anorexic. Our bodies are in survival mode. I've heard that it gets better!

I also had mine in October. Been falling out like crazy for 3 months now. Down over 125 pounds and 10 more to go. I hope it stabilizes once I hit maintenance.

      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! 😞
