I began losing weight immediately after my first NUT appointment. Last I weighed showed 18# gone and my clothes are still getting looser and looser. It's been about four months now and all of a sudden my already fine hair is coming out about thrice normal or more. I'm taking my vitamins, getting in lots of protein, fruits, and veggies, and really expected hair loss to come well after surgery, not before! It hasn't changed my mind about getting the sleeve but does make me sad. Just wanted to share and ask if others experienced early hair loss, too.

My hair lost started at 2 months and has been steady until the past week...that's 4 months. Some days it was horrifying the amount of hair I was getting. But, like you, I don't regret this one bit. I can see new growth, so it's coming back...the pounds aren't! LOL
