Me, I'm bald - so it didn't matter :D.
If your hair does thin, usually it will grow back between the 6th and 8th month. My that time you should be eating normally. Also, make sure you take your vitamins. Some folks state this helps reduce the chances of hair loss.
Good luck, and know we're here for you!!

Since we have had our WLS we need to sometimes focus on how much easier it is to do things that "normal" people take for granted. Here are some of my SMET items....feel free to share yours.
SInce my WLS it is SMET.......
Tie my shoes,
Get in and out of the car,
Walk and climb stairs,
Fit into a pubic restroom stall,
Buy clothing,
Fit into a booth at a restaurant,
Exercise,
Get up off furniture,

Hope everyone is having a good week. Even though I received hail damage to our cars yesterday thank God it didn't break out any windows and the damage is minimal. We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for. No matter what our situation.....there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for. This post is to remind everyone that there is always hope and that there is alway someone out there worse than we are. We should all be so very grateful for all the good things that have come our way. PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for if you wish. Here are a few things that I am grateful for today.......
For my WLS and all the choices of different WLS,
For my life and health,
For my Faith and answered prayers,
For receiving minimal damage to my cars during the hail storm yesterday,
For my family and friends,
For Support Groups,
For encouragement and kind words,
For Obesity Help and all their message boards,
For the upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La. Sept 9-10.

I considered this when deciding on the band over RNY. I think the vitamin absorption as well as losing weight at a slower rate really helps avoid major hair loss
