Hair loss - which surgery?

Hi don't know about sleeve but I did with bypass. Starting loosing hair at about 4 months post bypass and now 18 months down the line it's back to its previous thickness.
 
I was told hair loss happens with the bypass ,so far for me nearly 4 months post op ive not really noticed any great amount of lose but I am expecting it to happen so im prepared for it and hopefully wont be too upset when it does happen
 
I am three months post sleeve, and my hair has just started to thin a little. again was told it could happen anywhere from three to six months post surgery, am hoping it doesn't thin to much but then I had quite thick hair before
 
I've got a lot of hair loss with my sleeve. I'm 3 1/2 months post op. Previously, I did the full lighter life plan and also had bad hair loss then too.

I was advised to take zinc to help. I have no idea though whether it's reduced my symptoms at all.
 
Thank you bear! I also done lighter life before about 8 years ago and ended up cutting all my hair off! That's why now finally given the chance of surgery I wondered whether there was anything I could take to help if this happens again!
 
I'm 15 months post op sleeve my hair is just beginning to grow back. I did lose a lot. Plenty of protien will help ease this.
 
You get hair loss with any weight loss surgery.

I'm 6 months post op and my hair started falling rapidly at 4 months post op.

Here's some pics.

I feel lost without my hair.

This is one of the things that scares me about having WLS. I love my hair - its the only thing I like about my appearance and I've just got it back to length after a hairdresser cut it way too short a few years ago - I cried for days.
I've been mentally prepping myself that the end results of weight loss will be worth it and the hair will grow back........
 
Don't worry! Mine thinned a lot during first 6 months. I kept taking my vits, keep my protein intake high and now it's thicker and longer than ever :) x
 
I have mega thick hair and it's always come out in handfuls, tbh post surgery there wasn't a very big change, now if anything its coming out less than it ever did :)
 
Im in for my sleeve 2 weeks on Thursday ! (eeeeek!!) and hair loss is something im stressing about , i know it doesnt happen to everyone and some people get ot worse than others and i shoudlnt be so vein but omg my hair! :( :(

Thank you for asking this question, I am just 6 month out and this is freaking me out. I had a Sleeve, and my hair is coming out in handfuls.

I was going to ask, if anyone has gone bald.

Good luck with your surgery
