Hair Loss Concerns

 I am still in the research stage have not decided on which procedure I am going to have done one of my concerns is hair loss as I already have thinning hair due to hypothyroidism. Also, is it common to have loose stools after surgery I have heard that with the VSG this is a common side effect that does not go away???!    I am trying to choose between the lap band and VSG any thoughts??  I know I will have a million more questions..If anyone has any input it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, I have heard that the hair loss can be from the rapid weight loss and it can be from the anethesia it is suppose to be a temp thing. I too have extremely thin hair and am worried about that too.

from what i have read on the boards the loose stool thing does go away,sometimes the other extreme constipation happens often.some use miralax etc,but as different foods are brought back into the diet each person has to find what works for them.

i had my surgery 6 months ago and my hair started falling 3 months ago and it just keep falling i just saw the doctor last week and he said to give it 3 more months i told him i wont have hair by then and i use to have alot see i did everything they told me to do but i was really sick the first 3 months after surgery i had to be hospitalized for a a couple of weeks hair loss is from not eating enough protein i heard it comes back im still hoping ..
