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.

    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
