    Default Body makeover & more hair loss????

    Hi everyone.

    I have read a lot about hair loss after the having the sleeve procedure, which I am in the thick (or thin of) it right now myself.
    I meet all nutrition goals, and take my biotin. I realize this is normal.
    I am not too worried because I know it is temporary and it will grow back.
    I am looking forward to it very much.

    My question is;
    I wanted to know if any of you notice having hair loss again the second time around after having excess skin removal,& breast lift procedure?

    I was calculating by the time my hair does start to come back and it feels back to normal I will be ready for cosmetic surgery.
    It definitely won't change my mind about having my second procedure.

    I was just wondering if anyone here experienced hair loss after their body makeover.

    Thank you.

    When I had my Gallbladder removed I had hair loss and again with the sleeve. I've been told it's a side effect of surgery - because of the stress on the body.

    Thank you Carnation. That is what I thought. At least I will not be a bit surprised if it happens twice.
    I told my husband
    "I lost two pounds last week... in hair."
    At least I still have a sense of humor about it.
    Loving the weight loss, so I am not going to complain too much.

    I lost alot of hair with the sleeve, and again with both of my cosmetic surgeries. I actually think it was a side effect of the anesthesia, biotin didn't do much, I gave up on it shortly after my 2nd cosmetic surgery. I was sleeved in February 2012, 1st cosmetic surgery 27 Dec 2012, 2nd cosmetic surgery early Feb 2013.

    13 months after my last surgery and my hair is finally filling in again.. luckily I had very thick hair to start with, so it was never that bad, even though it sure was scary for a long time there, I felt like I was losing handfuls every single day. In reality, I was losing alot of hair but the worst was just the week after surgery, I was shedding everywehre, and clumps were coming out when I would wash or brush it.
    Good luck

    I had a LOT of hair loss with my sleeve surgery but not so much with my cosmetic surgery, at least not yet! I had an arm lift/breast lift/augmentation done mid December and have just had my normal shedding since then, I'm hoping that continues! You're doing FANTASTIC by the way!! Keep up the great work
