I'am African American and yes you can experience hair loss. The trick to this is to stay consistent with your vitamins I take 10,000 MG of Biotin everyday.It keeps your hair and nails healthy it also gives you energy throughout the day. You should also take your multivitamins everyday as well. I have been out 2 years it doesn't matter if you are black or white you will loose your hair if you don't take vitamins. I hope this helps
I'll be honest with you I don't have the craving for soul food like I used to. Mainly because if its cooked properly its way to rich like macroni and cheese the noodles are to dense and to much is cheese is bothersome. I will eat collard greens but very little. I still eat turkey if its nice and tender. The food I love the most now is seafood, i eat it like crazy. I have been 2 years out seafood allows me to keep my weight down and I don't have issues after eating it. i hope this helps.
Thank you, I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow. I am refusing to leave his office until I get some answers, even if it means exploritory surgery.
I also will be following up with my primary Dr.

A surgeon rattling off stats would not be a good answer for me. A couple of sips of water this far out will do nothing for your body except land you in the ER. Do you have a primary care physician you could see?
Unfortunately I am not familiar with this problem. Try posting on the VSG forum. Just maybe someone has had these symptoms and can point you towards the answer or at least tests you can suggest to your surgeon or PCP.
Let me also mention that you may want to get blood work done to check all of your vitamin levels. Most, if not all, of us had to have pre-op blood work. I would get those same levels tested. Some of those vitamins, like B1, only take a couple of weeks of deficiency before they hit low levels.
I have talked to the surgeon, In my opinion Im not getting the attention or answers that I need. I feel like I may be dying slowly and none is listening.
The surgeon says that every thing with the surgery looks great and there is no reason I should be experiencing these symtoms. He also said that 1% of people who have the surgery have to be reintroduced to food and liquid and I may be part on that 1%. In the mean time I havn't eaten anything other than popcycles and a cpl sips of water in the past several weeks.

Post this on the RNY forum I not sure if there is any but if there is something out there they will know.
I am at the 3 month mark very nervous about hair loss but so far none to report. I think its important to take your vitamins to reduce hair loss. Also since you have natural hair and its locks so you are not putting heat on it that should help to reduce the chances of your hair thinning to the point where it is really noticable.
I stay away from all the desserts but I will sample my favorite 2-3 items only one teaspoon though. So for Thanksgiving I had a teaspoon of dressing, mac and cheese, and potato salad at Thanksfiving dinner and some turkey. I did not eat any desserts or eat any Thanksgiving food again next day or later that evening. So i was able to enjoy the delicious food without straying from my meal plan. I was still able to lose 2 pounds during the Thanksgiving weekend.
