Has anyone not lost their hair?

Are you or have you take a PPI since surgery?
Thanks.

I took one per doctors orders the first few weeks after surgery but don't need one now.

Never lost the first hair.  Who knows why some people do and some don't, but I took my mult-vitamins, ate protein first and veggies next, and drank water like a fish.  But plenty of folks did the same and lost hair. 


And yes, I have reflux, but I had it pre-WLS.  I take Nexium every day, and that keeps it at bay.

I was very worried about the possibility of losing hair so I became very obsessed with ensuring that i got my protein in daily. Premier protein shakes help alot with that early out.  I did not visably lose much hair although there were time that i noticed more hairs laying around after showering. I do not ever have acid reflux or foamies(whatever people mean by that) but i do get a very full uncomfortable feeling or pain if I eat too much or too fast. We are all different and you will have to learn to read your own body and be aware of your limitations in order to avoid any unpleasantness caused by eating problems. Good luck on your journey.  I am LOVING MY SLEEVE!

 I didn't - dunno why.  I was obsessed early out with getting green veggies in (would put them in my blender with chicken broth every day.  I'm sure I didn't get enough protein early on -- or maybe I did.  Who knows (?)

 Since I don't know what a PPI is, I guess I didn't take it  :)

I did take b vitamins along with multis and some other stuff. 

I am 5 months post-op and have noticed significant hair loss.  Mine is coming out in very small clumps, mainly in the shower.  I was told that I needed to increase my protein intake to prevent this.  I have also recently starting experiencing acid reflux again.  I don't know the cause or correction for this, I am going to see my gastro doctor.  Good luck to you!

Can't answer the hair question yet, but I did take a PPI for two weeks post surgery and haven't needed to do so since then. I had GERD prior to surgery, too.
