:lol: this made me laugh. No my dear..no change anywhere else...and yes, I lost plenty of hair on my head. I even saw scalp at one point. Doesn't seem fair, does it?

This brings up a good point. I'm currently undergoing laser treatments and I was about to start treating my arms. Reading through all these posts though it sounds like I'm in for some substantial hormonal changes when I do have surgery. Has anyone had regrowth in previously treated areas after surgery?

I had my lip and between my brows done before surgery. There is no change or regrowth in those areas which is good news because that is expensive and I would have been mad.

I do think if we were going to lose hair they should picked some spots that would be more convienient.

Not my head for crying out loud!

Omg, Yes!! I was too embarrassed to a make a thread or tell someone. I haven't got a man at the moment so I was planning to keep my Lady winter fur but a month after the surgery, everytime I would shower would be strands of hair going down the drain. I was shedding like a cat.

That has now stopped and now i'm having issues with the hair on my head.

That's hilarious - I was just grousing about this yesterday! I'm blaming the Biotin, it's making my armpit hair grow like ragweed but I still have a 2-finger-width part in my hair. So not fair!

Hello ladies, question, when did you start noticing the loss of your hair. I am 1 month post op and i really havent notice any real Hair loss. I think ive shed more hair prior to even deciding to have the surgery than now lol

I am now 3 months post op and hair loss has started. I keep pulling handfuls out in the shower...

However, here is WEIRD part... my hair is growing faster, a lot faster. BUT it is growing faster in weird places too... my head, my armpits, and now I'm noticing more hair on the stomach! It's so weird, it's not an unsightly amount or anything someone would notice besides me. Has anyone else experienced this?

Sasha, mine finally stopped falling out faster than it's growing in at about the 7 month mark, but it DOES come back. I got a sample of the Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco spray in my Ipsy bag (it's about $8-$10 for a big full sized can) and it works really well to keep the frizzies down without making my hair stiff. Otherwise, I walk around looking like I stuck my finger in a socket.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
