Did you have Gastric Bypass? How long did it take for your hair to grow back?

I was wondering is there anyone out there who's had Gastric Bypass, and did you lose 40-50% of your hair? I had a very thick beautiful mane of hair, and long too, and I've had to cut it to my shoulders because I lost about %50 of my hair. I know it does grow back, but how long did it take before you saw a difference in the thickness of your hair? I have to keep mine up in a barrett because there's no body to it, and it's just mainly strings. How do you style your thinning, or already thinned hair?

My sister had gastric bypass surgery. She lost a buttload of weight, but only because the surgeon made the stomach too small, and reverse paristollisis occured. (throwing up) Even water would come back out. She had to have her gall bladder removed because she lost allot of weight very fast. She never had hairloss. My cousin had this same surgery and didn't have any hair loss either… Sorry… My mom is loosing hair, but that is because she has allopecia. She is using Rogaine for men. My sister has since had the procedure reversed for obvious reasons….

where can I look for weight loss surgery?

What is the best hospital in Boston for Weight Loss Surgery?

Well, you had better be seeking it out only because its your only option. I encourage you to exercise and diet if you can. It takes willpower, but do it, and make yourself proud. if you weigh a lot, like 300-400 pounds, exercise may be too difficult for you. I would ask your doctor about that.

What is the cost of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass?

Weight Loss Surgery ?

My R-Y done in 2004 was a total of $14,500 with the doctors fee and the hospital fee (2 days). My insurance paid every penny. And I can tell you that the fee is negotiable. This procedure is more common and I'm sure it's not as expensive now. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. I lost 110 lbs.

has anyone ever had a gastric bypass?

I really need to lose weight but nothing seems to work. I just want to know if anyone on answers has had this surgery and if you have had it what is the procedure and how was the outcome? any complications?

I had it 10 months ago. I was overweight for almost 20 years. I tried everything, but really, everything. Then suddenly I just dropped the ball.. and I decided to undergo Gastric Bypass. My results are incredible, I have lost more than 100lbs, and I feel 100% great!

I had sleep apnea, hypertension and diabetes… all is GONE now… I feel great.

My case is on the positive side. I know there are complications, but none of them will make you want to go back…
