    Red face New Member,Sleeved 4/15/15 ,thinning my mane!

    Hello, I'm a newby to the site. I was sleeved in April, I'm 5'11 , I started out at 363, lost 15 lbs in 10 day pre surgery phase and am down to 273 as of October 15,2015. The only thing I've been a tad bit worried about is that I shed a mass amount of hair daily! I have always had super thick hair so it has not been a problem yet but it could stop anytime now already!! My Surgeon says it will stabilize, shew, I sure hope so! Anyone else been through this? Oh, I'm a Mom, Wife, nurse and have no regrets about the sleeve! I'm in York, PA and Dr Garber is my Surgeon. I love to share my experiences so feel free to ask me anything.

    Welcome! Congrats on the loss! Unfortunately I also have quite a bit of hair loss......I think it's slowing down a little but it's still a brush full whenever I brush my hair, so after I wash and brush there is a lot of hair coming out. I was sleeved 12/30/14 Thank god I started with thick hair.
    sleeved 12/30/14 @255lbs Goal 140lbs
    3/3/15- 208lbs 6/14/15- 163lbs
    lost 92lbs in 1st 6mo
    9/10/15- 139 1/5/2016 - 128lbs
    lost 128lbs in 1 year
    4/4/16 - 123lbs 7/4/16 - 129lbs 12/3/16- 130
    still 128lb loss@2 year mark-11lbs below goal

    I lost very very little but I took hair and nail supplements and pre-natal vitamins before and after the surgery. Someone I met out here told me about those and she didn't lose any hair either. Not sure if it's too late to stop the losses but worth a shot. It'll grow back

    Started a thread about this earlier today and got many positive responses, try this stuff : https://www.facebook.com/Healyourhair/ . My wife is selling this product, it's worked well for her, and me. Like I said in earlier thread it's not spam, and a good product!
