I've lost so much hair it's pretty much just fuzz now :( Been doing this for about a month now! I go outside to brush it and clean my brush out. There is piles of fur balls all scattered throughout the backyard!!!

Hello ONEDERLAND! I thought this day would never come! First huge goal' date=' CRUSHED![/quote']

Yay congratulations! !!

My hair comes out by handfuls too luckily I have very thick hair to begin with so I hope it doesn't get too bad ...I remember this also happened with the lapband for a while then just stopped falling out one day. ..I'm also getting acne which SUCKS ! I haven't had acne in years lol hope that doesn't last long either but as long as the weight keeps coming off I'll deal with acne and some hair falling out lol

OMG! I havent had any hair loss yet and I hope I dont. The way you describe it is horrible! Isnt there anything that stops it??

That's a blessing. I went from loving everything to full out aversions. I haven't tried alot of sweets so I don't know how that would work. Chicken makes me ill thinking about it.

Im the same way. I dont even want to try to eat some things because the thought of it makes me sick. I havent had any sweets as I am afraid of dumping since the cereal incident! Dont know if its a good thing but I am content with the few things I eat and the weight is coming off. I only have cravings or really "feel" hunger every once in awhile.

I can eat anything...never had dumping! Wish i did since that was my main reason for choosing RNY over the Sleeve! Dori...my primary care doctor said there is nothing that will stop the hair loss. It has to run it's course. She re-assured me that it will grow back. Just found out I'm post menopausal also (explains the sweating episodes) and that will cause hair loss also. I'm going to invest in a few cute hats so i don't have to look at this mess on my head :/

Dumping was my deciding factor for rny too! It helps to know that if I eat something bad, there may be consequences! ;) I am glad to hear that the hair will grow back! Im sure that doesnt help right now though when you are going through it. I keep waiting and waiting for mine to start coming out. ; ( Hang in there my friend.

Yeah I know that I've done all I was told about measures to try to prevent/decrease hair loss. Guess it's just gonna happen. I hope it does stop eventually and I know I complain about it but I guess overall I'd shave my head bald if it

Meant my losing the weight. The acne now..it's scars I'm afraid of. These little pimples hurt too.

Well I finally lost the 2lbs I gained. Back to where i started. Idk. Not gonna try to over do the protein like I did before. That seemed to be the catalyst for my gain. So..moving forward :)
