Couldn't give you a number, but I had no noticable hair loss at all......just a few strays around the house.

I am not sure of the percentage but i can personally say that i did lose some hair after the surgery.

My nutritious and medical support team warned me that this could be possible. I was told to make sure i got the adequate amount of protein each day and i will see my hair grow back and stronger nails. Also with the help of my daily vitamins.

I had no hair loss at all. This could be a good poll for Alex to post.

I lost so much hair and am still losing it is noticeably thinner and I hate it it's the only thing I don't like about the sleeve

Probably 50%. I think I have most of it back now, but not all of it.

I didn't lose much if any. The best thing you can do to prevent hair loss (and have a successful recovery) is to get your protein, vitamins and water.

I got all of my protein every day. I took all vitamins religiously. I did everything right; and I wasn't that lucky. I think plenty depends on genetics and while not doing things right might contribute to hair loss, there is nothing you can do to prevent it if its going to happen to you. I think mine was more severe than a lot of people, but most people do lose some. Its pretty distressing when it happens, but it does come back.

I'm going through it right now. It's pretty significant. The below pic is from today's shower (drain fur ball + gentle combing)...this has been going on for a few weeks now. Hoping it lets up really soon. :mellow:

I didn't have hair loss either, but when I chose surgery I resigned myself to the possibility. I think it is partly heredity but also making sure you take your vitamins, and eat quality protein, veggies, & plenty of good fats like avocado and cocnut and olive oil.
