I am at my wits end regarding the Hair loss. I have bought multiple hair pieces and have even bought a full wig. I had average hair not too thick not too thin. I'm 20 months post surgery and I am still having extreme hair loss. It has gotten so bad I have to wear 2 hair pieces and now I am having a hard time keeping them in place because I have so little hair to attach them. The worst part is I have only lost 20 pounds since surgery. I am really thinking of removing the band. I have become so depressed. If anyone has any suggestions or support stories it might lift my spirits. Like someone else said I thought it was menapause but now I don't think so, I am convinced it is the band.

Please help.

Thanks for the info about the Joan Rivers powder for the scalp. I'm going on QVC.Com right now to purchase it.

If anyone else has any suggestions they will be much appreciated.I'm tired of cleaning all my hair off the bathroom floor and the shower drain.

oh geez, that sounds pretty bad. I'm sorry, but I have tried everything and I have no new ideas to give. Mine did start growing back in, but I am still having hair issues myself.

don't worry. Protein Shakes and Biotin did it for me. It will grow back:smile:. I felt the same way about 4 months ago, chunks of hair were just falling off. I began increasing my Protein intake and that seem to help a lot. I know how you feel, give it time and start shakes and biotin Vitamin it really works. Good luck!

hello all!

well I am 2 years banded & have almost no hair!! I have bald spots everywhere

I have been to every specialist and no one

can tell why this is happening

I am sooooo depressed and i have tried everything.

I even see a dermatologist who gives me steriod injections into the bald spots which does help the hair grow back but them there are always new bald spots popping up!

I feel defeated at this point and guess i will have no hair at all shortly

I take Vitamins,Biotin, Protein., liquid Iron

any other suggestions besides a wig would be helpful

      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? 🤷‍♀️
