Almost everyone does. It's temporary. There's nothing you can do to prevent it. You will not go bald. Just shedding. It will grow back when your weight stabilizes.

I lost so much hair, I had bald spots! I take Biotin which helped a little, but Proud stated, it calms down and grows back

Speaking of which I have to tell y'all an interesting story about my Hair loss. I used to have super curly hair, and as I got older, it became straighter. I also have baby fine hair. So I was heart broken when my hair fell out as I didn't have much to begin with! My doctors and beauticians all told me the diabetic drugs and menopause was causing my hair to be straight. That I will never have my curly hair anymore. When my hair started to grow back, it looked awful with different lengths and was a mess, so I had it cut short. Now that it is growing back full throttle it is my OLD hair! Its curly and soft and beautiful. I don't know if it was I was so unhealthy before or all the Vitamins I take now or the walking or the fact I no longer take ANY diabetic drugs or insullin, but i am loving it! I didnt know how to work straight hair, I always had such easy curly hair, and I am so happy.

So be patient with the hair loss. It will come back and will come back better than ever!! In the meanwhile, get some cute hats. I wore little beanies and what my husband called "Jessie hats" (from Breaking Bad) in the winter and nobody really noticed.

Had the same issue, 4th month hair was coming out, I add more veggie fat, and that help a lot. Like coconut oil, olive oil. i just used it when I made my eggs, or other Protein. I keep my hair short, since the new growth would stick out. i too have curly hair so it's not to bad to hide the thinning. I am glad it's stopped. Over all I am so glad I got this Sleeve, it's made my life so much better and my health is 100 precent better.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
