Hair Loss ~ After VSG Surgery 💇🏻‍♀️

My experience:

I got gastric sleeve surgery 5 months ago and started experiencing RAPID hair loss around month 3. At first I was so scared I ended up losing 70% of my hair. (luckily I was blessed with enough hair for a village so it doesn’t look as bad as it feels) I wish I had photos of what it looked like when I lost most of my hair but I was too sad to take pictures. I started going hard on supplements and vitamins and now I can confidently say the hair loss has stopped and I am now regrowing what I have lost. I decided to cut my hair into a long bob to get rid of the empty ends and start fresh. Just know if you’re going through hair loss after #weightlosssurgery there is a light at the end of the tunnel! 🫂 #vsgcommunity #hairlossjourney #gastricsleevejourney #longbob

Experiencing hair loss after VSG (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) surgery is a common concern, often beginning within a few months post-operation. This type of hair loss, known as telogen effluvium, may occur due to nutritional deficiencies, rapid weight loss, or hormonal changes following the surgery. It typically manifests as thinning hair or noticeable shedding. To combat this, it's crucial to focus on a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Key supplements like biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids can support hair health during this transition. Additionally, maintaining hydration and regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can help manage any underlying issues. Treatment may also include topical solutions such as minoxidil to promote hair regrowth. Remember, hair restoration takes time, and patience is essential as you navigate this phase of your weight loss surgery journey. Stay connected with others in the #weightlosssurgery and #hairlossjourney communities for support and shared experiences.

Replying to @Jenna Mae I hope this video helps you! Even if you lose a little bit of hair, just no hair will always grow back. I was so concerned about this too which almost made me want to cancel my appointment. But I figured hair will grow, and my health needs to change. # #weightloss # #hair # #

To those who haven’t experienced hair loss, “it’s just hair”. But if you have suffered from hair loss, you know how devastating it can be. I started losing hair in clumps every time I brushed my hair or ran my fingers through it. I tried so many things and finally found a solution to hair loss.

I’m not guessing with postpartum hair loss

Postpartum hair loss is one of those things that no one really prepares you for. It’s a lot! But trust me it’s temporary. During pregnancy high estrogen levels prevent the hair from shedding. After child birth hormones levels plummet and the accumulated hair sheds all at the same time. Postpartum t
