Topic: RE: my surgeon
HELLO, I dident have a 3mo checkup, I see mine at 6 mos. How much did he want you to lose?? I've only lost about 70lb. to me that's OK, Just like everyone I wi**** was more, but I'm happy for now, The last couple of weeks I've only droped a couple of pounds, but better then gaining, right!!!
Dont let them get you down, try and fallow what they say... I think I have been snaking tomuch on nuts, but they go down with no problem, unlike meat.. I still have problems with almost all meats. You take care, and Have a Happy Holiday.

I had my surgery on 08/27/07 and I started losing my hair about 3 weeks ago too, but this week I have noticed that I have been losing A LOT. I'm taking all my protein and using the Nioxin hair care system. One of my best friends had her RNY 3 yrs. ago and almost went bald too. She started using the Nioxin products and it slowed down the hair loss and made her hair thicker and stronger but she said that it took longer to grow back than prior to surgery. I am praying that using the Nioxin products will slow down the process for me too because at this rate, I will definitely be bald by New Years.

My surgery was 8/27/07 and I've been losing for over 2 weeks now. Thank goodness I've have tons of hair 'cause I'd be BALD by now if I didn't. It's currently thin-ish so it can ease up at any time

Ladies, ladies, don't panic. My hair loss is so severe that I could see my scalp on two sides in the front.
Last week I went to the hair saloon and told my hair dresser to do whatever she had to cover it up. My hair is now very short but at least she covered the bald spots by layering the top of my hair with a blade instead of cutting shears. It also made me look younger. Good Luck to all of you and remember it's all temporary.

Go****hought I was the only one losing hair -- thank God, it's a bunch of us. My dietician suggested a "****tail" of eight different supplements to help....but I take so many pills now, I'm only going to add biotin and zinc and see if that helps. I am seriously thinking of getting a wig....my hair in front is so thin you can see my scalp -- not pretty. I use nioxin shampoo and conditioner and have for several years, but it's not doing a lot for this except maybe keeping it from falling all out completely.
I know this is a side effect of WLS, and will just have to wait and see what happens....I know it will grow back some day, just don't know when .... LOL!
