My nutritionist said that its actually a Protein deficiency and to dbl scoop your Protein. Also there is an awesome lady on here I think here name is RaleighNC that's around 10 months post op that said the same thing. She said once she doubled up her protein the hair loss quickly subsided. Possibly ask your Dr to check your protein levels. My Doc does it routinely because protein is so very important to our success as bypass patients. But I always says prayer won't hurt either! :)....and a good scalp massage everyday...

Thanks so much I've been doubling up on protein the last couple of days just to be sure I've been getting enough but I'm so scared I'm going to end up bald and my other half keeps telling me that he doesn't want to hear it because I made the decision to do this to myself so I should suffer the concequenses!

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I think we're all dreading the day when this might happen to us. It's really frustrating that no one can seem to agree what the cause is. I tend to agree with the hormonal theory because the amount of body fat a woman has really affects her hormones. Lose a lot of body fat quickly' date=' your hormones go out of wack. As off the wall as it sounds, maybe a visit to the gyn for some bloodwork wouldn't hurt? I'm super curious to see if men have this problem too. I know we have very few guys on here, but if any of them could let us know if they've experienced this it would be interesting.

Of course, they can just go shave their heads, lol not fair.[/quote']

You kinda made me think that maybe it could be a horomone thing last month (April) I had my lady friend (.) hint hint visit me every other week and made me keep from loosing weight like I wanted to! Pp

Sorry wasn't able to finish that!!

So since I got her so often I'm guessing it maybe it could be about that plus I have an IUD and maybe that needs to be taken out cuz its been almost 5 years!!

What ever happened to compassion huh? Lol...Everyone that I know that double scooped their Protein saw a drastic turn around. I'm praying for you. Also try not to stress I'm sure its making it worse. And you can always vent to us instead of your man because we are all here for you. That way u won't have to hear such compassion less comments

My mom has alopecia areata and hair loss in clumps most definitely a protein deficiency. So scoop it up girl!: )

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
