Guest guest Posted November 8, 1999 Report Share Posted November 8, 1999 Les, I don't have a secret for the hair loss situation. I am however interested in knowing an answer if anyone has one. I will take thinner hair for a thinner body. I just hope it comes back. My hair was already thin and fine. I can't afford to loose much more. Good thing my husband loves me. I may have to go out and buy a " wig hat " . Oh well. No use crying over lost hair. Deb Hertlein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 1999 Report Share Posted November 8, 1999 I had surgery on 6-17-99. My hair began to shed pretty badly at 4 months. So I have a feeling I am going to be shedding for a while. My hair is very long but very fine and thin. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 1999 Report Share Posted November 8, 1999 Deb and Les: I believe that our hair loss can be lessened if we are very careful to keep our protein intake at 70-75 grams a day and take our vitamins and minerals daily as well. Dr. R said in clinic that the time from roughly 4 - 7 months is when we struggle with hair loss, if we are going to have that complication. Dee in MI.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 1999 Report Share Posted November 8, 1999 I had my surgery 3/10/99 and it didn't start falling out bad until June, July and it seems to have slowed down some but I still have to sweep the floor and clean out the bathtub every day because its so bad. I remember Dr. R stating it should slow down around the 8th or 9th month. I hope so. I have very thick hair but I can tell its thinning out.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 1999 Report Share Posted November 9, 1999 Yea! Once again, our Knight in Shining Armor comes through for us with yet another solution to one of the side-effects of MGB. Ladies and gentlemen, do we have a caring, dedicated doctor, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 1999 Report Share Posted November 22, 1999 , I am almost 6 months post-op from the open RNY. I have lost about 87 lbs and fist fulls of hair along with it. I don't know who told you the " open " patients don't lose hair - but my shower drain and hair brush tell a different story. I think it has more to do with the rapid weight loss than the type of procedure. Hope this helps! - Tara Lynn leslie harpold wrote: > > > > At 10:26 AM 11/20/99 EST, you wrote: > >From: SunniAngel@... > > > >I too am still losing hair after 7 months. > > Hi, by way of introduction, I'm new to the list and I'm in the research > phase and this is something that I see repeatedly coming up: hair loss. > It's not something I found people experiencing when they went with the open > procedure.
