Here's a fairly recent thread on Hair loss.< /p>

http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/91034-hair-loss/page__hl__%2Bhair+%2Bloss

If you search hair loss in the search bar on the forum page you'll see many more.

Most people experience it in varying degrees 2-3 months out.

Hair loss is not just experienced with extreme weight loss, but can be worsened by stress, surgery, illness, and possibly anestisia. So there is an almost certain point you will experience it. Everyone focuses on protien, and it is extremely important - but genetics, your home environment, the Vitamins you get, rest, the Water you drink, it all plays a part.

When I started to lose my hair it hit fast, and it was signifigant (but I did have other issues, you can read my profile for more info). I kinda started to panic but I backed away and looked at it from a different angle. This whole hair thing is kinda a "tax" I am paying for being able to lose weight and keep it off.

So with that squared away, I went "where can I go and get a haircut from someone who knows how to deal with people losing their hair?" Sports Clips!!! No kidding. Went in talked to someone, wasn't comfy with that person but went to another one and talked to a young lady named Victoria and she has done my hair ever since.

Several months ago I even went with her aunt to her first VSG consultation, :)

She is having the surgery in the late fall, after she helps her daughter with her first grandbabies - twins!

      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! 😞
