How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Hair loss
Vsg hair loss
Hello everyone. I am 17 weeks post op. I am down 40 lbs! I am feeling fantastic, no problems with my sleeve at all. Last week, was the first time i started working out. (I know...thats terrible) but, my husband and i work crazy schedules, so it is hard to find someone to baby sit my son.
About 3 weeks ago, i noticed that i was starting to shed hair. It started off as a little bit, but now...it is really starting to come out! ???? my weight has been stable for a couple of weeks, i eat a lot of protein, and take vitamins, and nothing seems to work.
Is there anyone that has any recommendations? I have been taking plenty of biotin since before surgery. Also, 1.5 weeks ago, i started taking Hair Balance by journey. They are pills that my surgeons office recommended. I haven't noticed a difference yet. Plus, it is supposed to make my hair grow, not prevent it from falling out. I have had long, black hair my whole life, so this has been scary for me. I hope it ends soon.

Hello. 11 weeks post op and i am down 31 lbs. i feel great! No complications at all.
But, I did notice thati can eat a lot more now. ???? im sure this is how it should be, now that my stomach has healed. But, i am officially going to start paying closer attention to how many calories i eat.
