Has anyone been lucky enough to not have any Hairloss after VSG surgery?

I'm not losing my hair, I'm man-scaping!

It's a solar powered sex machine!

I will say that I was surprised to be losing hair... EVERYWHERE!!! Even in those special places. I am a little worried with people reporting that is has come back thicker. I have a "normal" amount of hair now and I don't want to look like a hedgehog later!

I could stand to do a hair transplant from my back...

Approaching 5 months. Started slow loss of hair at about 4 months, gets worse with every shampoo. Also noticeable on my bathroom floor where I typically brush my hair. I have (had) very thick hair - so its not that noticeable to others yet. I've also noticed a lot of split ends too since surgery. ugh.

I'm trying to keep up with all my multivitamins, while eating iron and protein rich foods like sorghum and liver. 6 weeks in and its been so far so good.

I take Sugar Bear hair Vitamins and I use Biotin shampoo and conditioner. I'm hoping to not lose much hair, if it really starts falling out then I will "Pixie" it and dye it a nice shade of blond to hide the thinning. My hair was super curly until I went threw chemo a few years back, now it is fairly flat, I hope I get something in between.

Didn't notice any hair loss so far, but then again I have a very short haircut.

If it happens it usually hits around 10 to 12 weeks post op and will continue through the massive weight loss phase.

It might be a little soon to tell for some of you at this point. Also, you might be one of the lucky ones that does have any.

I will say that I lost nearly 2/3 of my hair from month 2 to month 13. I did not have bald spots but my hair was thin. While I was losing it, new hairs were popping up all over. I can honestly say that my hair is as thick if not thicker than it was before surgery. In fact my stylist swears it is significantly thicker. Also the texture changed and I went from some body in my hair to very curly hair. To the point where it is difficult to straighten it......

So when your hair grew back it was curlier?

I'm 5 weeks post op, I have long perfect curls....i Love my curls....i am deathly afraid of the hair loss phase

I find that hair loss happens at around 6 months every time I lose more than 50 pounds. Last time the "cure" was a pregnancy at age 48....

husband says that the hair that fell out of his head seeded his back.

No hair loss for me. None whatsoever, and I have a thyroid condition as well.

My hair, at close to 10 months post op is healthier, thicker and grows fast. It is better now than pre-op.

Must be all the Protein and collagen supplements, healthy diet and Vitamins I religiously take each day.

So, for me, my hair is healthy.

Went for total deforestation in the "down-under" area with laser Brazilian hair removal

My hair loss started at 12 weeks out.

I noticed hair loss, and then found out that my 80g of protein wasn't enough, so when I got up to 100-110 everything was fine.

I don't know if it is different for men, but I didn't lose any hair. I was ready to go bald too!

I'm super nervous about this, because I have alopecia. I've have five bouts of active hair loss in the last ten years, and last year was the most severe - I lost all my hair on my head, my eyelashes, and my eyebrows in a little less then two weeks. It was heartbreaking. My hair as grown back healthy, and is about shoulder length now. I actively use Biotin and I use Nioxin shampoo and conditioner. From what I've heard, making sure to get in all your protein and then some is the key to keeping your hair. Fingers crossed!

I experienced some hair loss about four months post-op (VSG) but it wasn't substantial enough to be noticeable to anyone but myself. It continued to lightly shed for a couple of months, and then stopped. I lost far more hair due to a horrific John Frieda product a few years ago. I also don't have any loose skin from weight loss. I did lose weight at a much slower pace than many others, though, and this probably was a factor.
