VERY concerned about hair loss

[Guest guest]

I understand how you feel - I was more worried about hair loss than just

about anything else lol

Ive never come across anyone who has gone completely bald. I am almost 6

months post op and I started losing hair a couple of months ago. It seems like

I

am losing a lot, but when you look at me, it isnt noticable - my hair isnt

really thin and I dont have any bald spots or anything like that, and the loss

is already slowing down. I had a terrible first four months - I had a

stricture and went for four months barely able to eat anythng at all, so I didnt

even

come close to my protein goal. Hopefully Ive lost about as much hair as I am

going to and if so, I consider myself lucky since I had such lousy nutrition

in the first months.

I haven't even been approved for the surgery yet, but I am really

concerned about the hair loss. I have heard of women going almost

completely bald and some who have had minimal loss. I would really

like to know what happens to the majority. I know a lot of it depends

on the appropriate amount of protein. What kind of protein are people

using? I bought a few protein bars to try, but they were all very

disgusting. I want to get more than enough protein so I won't lose my

hair, or if so, the least amount possible. Can anyone help me with

any information??? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
