Hair Loss
It's really common (and distressing) for patients to shed a lot of hair some 4-6 months after bariatric surgery. Clearly this is not a nice thing, but Dr. Pilcher explains that it can be part of the normal recovery process and talks about our best advice for the return of healthy hair.

Thanks for the suggestion Laneia - I will take a look at that although honestly our Registered Dietician is MUCH more knowledgeable than me. You might want to check one of her videos here: www.sagebariatric.com/post-operative-classes/

I've had 19 surgeries and only lost hair following bariatric surgery. I also only lost 53 pounds over 1 year.
Hair loss also occurs with people who use extended fasting to reach autophagy because energy is diverted to more essential organs. It's the bodies way of protecting itself from what it perceives as a food/energy "crisis". It's normal and healthy because in a state if autophagy the body goes after any and all non essential detritis, i.e , damaged/dead cells, visceral fat, etc for energy before going after anything else. You will actually look and feel better.

I suspect something similar happens with body hair, but I have never had a patient notice or complain about it.
Can I take Biotin to help with hair growth?

Most programs do recommend Biotin. I suggest for you to coordinate with your own bariatric team.

Long term nausea and vomiting are not expected in my experience. Sounds like you should re-connect with your bariatric team.
What about the teeth after the surgery?

That is not at all what he said .. he is simply saying there are lots of conditions internal or external that can cause hair loss.. hypothyroid is a common disease that is prevalent that causes hair loss .. please listen with a pure heart so you don’t care false witness as to what he said
