Before I was sleeved, I went to a bariatric meeting. That question came up. It was suggested that Biotin be taken. I started from before my surgery. Never lost 1 hair. I was sleeved in 2013. I still take my Biotin, daily. Hope this helps.

Yes! I use Sally Beauty's leave in & also use their hydrating hair mask. I take Biotin & Omega 3 Fish Oil, as well as the bariatric chewable multi vitamin & The Calcium Citrate Chewy Bite. My hair's thick & curly, stylists say nuclear, which means I can do pretty much anything/everything to it & it is beautiful (everyone comments & complements on it which is so sweet) so I also warm a 1/2 cup of organic coconut oil & put it on once weekly (overnight) starting from the ends up to the roots. Both my sisters are cosmetologists, now working in other fields, so anytime I've got a q, I get the straight scoop from them (they trained me to do their hair, since I'm an artist, but now I live in a different state & they miss me a lot). My hair's thinned out since surgery, but not in a bad way as far as I'm concerned. I thank God for this & everything. Lastly, I go to the 3 support groups my surgeon offers for free every month: psychologist to deal with food issues, nutrition/nutritionist & bariatric support for post-op patients with him & his partner. Tomorrow's nutrition, so if I learn anything, I'll tell ya. For example, I live in Las Vegas, NV which is hotter than hell, but after losing over 60 lbs in the past 3.5 mos, I'm always cold (except when I'm exercising). Hope my reply helps. Namaste.

This is great info! I am scheduled for the sleeve on October 3rd and that is one of my concerns, thinning hair. I have been taking Hair, Skin, and Nails which has biotin in it but I am going to add the coconut oil treatment. I am so glad I joined this site!!

Monet and sleeved in April. Haven't lost any hair and it grows much faster
