Hi everyone!! I had my vsg on sept 24th 2014 and I've had a total loss to date of 106 lbs! And I'm experiencing what I feel is extreme hairloss !! I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing ! Taking in all my protein and I just did a vitamin check and everything is fine and normal! I don't know what to do at this point and does it really grow back or am I just going to keep loosing more and more of my hair? Any advice given is a gift and thank you for your time ????

I had my vsg on Nov 12th, and I am also seeing my hair fall out and it is very, very thin. I'm also doing everything recommended. I'm terrified that I'm going to loose all of it at the rate I'm going. Any suggestions or words of wisdom are appreciated.

I had my surgery on Sept.1 and, like you started having some pretty dramatic hairloss. But in the last couple of weeks, it's definitely started growing back. I have tons of little baby hair coming in.

Do a search through old threads for hair loss. This topic comes up several times a week, it seems. It strikes fear in our hearts. I had an extreme case, and even I didn't go totally bad, though you could see my scalp all over. My hair fell out for at least 8 months, and really severely for 4-5 of that. It was very slow to come back. I had surgery 12/12, started losing hair 4/13 through 12/13. Didn't notice much growth for the next few months, though it was starting to come back for the first 6 months of 2014. In the last 6 months of 2014, it started to come back a little faster. Now, at 26 months post op, it's almost all grown back. You can't see much of my scalp anymore except at the part.

I never missed a day of Protein or Vitamins. I went to dermatologist, got shots in my head, topical solutions, and bought shampoos "systems" that cost hundreds of dollars - each. I do think that those products and trips to the doc did help, because that when things started turning around. The other thing that helped was increasing my calories to over 1000. I had a lot of weight to lose, so that contributed to the prolonged hair loss, I think.

I did all the right things and lost clumps starting at 6 months until about a year out. It's coming back in now
