Five month stall and hair loss HELP!



Recommended Posts

So I was sleeved on Feb 8th and had been losing well down from 344 to 264 then 4 weeks ago it just stopped. I have stayed within the same three pound range. I am not eating differently and I am moving more. The only thing I am losing is hair which is coming out by the handfuls. Please give me some advice! Thanks!

I think it's fairly normal - I am between 4-5 months and my weight has been staying mostly the same for about 3 weeks. Granted I've had a lot going on (a flare up of auto-immune - steroids - and a death of an immediate family member) but still - stalls are frustrating a bit. When I have been paying attention to other things I noticed my body is really changing - my face and stomach are smaller. Have your measurements changed?

now that my immediate trauma's are over it is time for me to get back to my main focus being on my diet (Protein Protein protein) and moving my body. gentle yoga and walking for now.

I hope to soon hear from you, and experience for myself, that the scale will be moving again too!

Stalls are a normal, natural and necessary part of the process of losing weight. If you intend to lose a lot of weight, you will experience stalls.

Unfortunately, Hair loss after surgery/anesthesia is not uncommon. Not everyone loses a noticeable amount of hair, but some people do. It will grow back. The best thing you can do is make sure you are getting in all of your Protein and taking your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Are you taking Biotin at all? I recommend 10,000mcg per day, it works wonders on hair and also the beneift of strengthening nails :) It won't stop hair falling out, but the hair regrowth is noticeable - in my experience anyway.

My hair is already coming back ! I was sleeved in November 2015. I also used a Protein Shampoo I'm not sure if it made it better but for me mentally it did.

Biotin also increases facial hair ladies.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
