Hairloss percentages ?



Recommended Posts

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.

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.< /p>

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
