Did anyone's hair come in fuller than before?
For those of you lost hair due to the VSG, when it came back, did it come in fuller than before? I am asking because I already had thin hair...I am at 3 1/2 months and I am beginning to lose it. I am hoping the positive side of this that I will get fuller hair when it returns. :-)

Thanks so much for letting me know that. My hair started thinning terribly when Menopause started, and has never grown back. Now I have hope that maybe when it grows back after this VSG hair loss time, I will get more than I had...I would love to have the thickness of hair I had 20 years ago. :-)

My hair seemed thicker when it started to grow back because I had a ton of little new-growth spikes poofing my longer hair out. I got a long, choppy bob haircut to blend it all together. Now that it's growing longer, it is the same thickness as before, I think. I have always had a lot of hair, lost a lot of hair but still had a "normal" head of hair.
A friend from my support group had her straight hair grow back curly, so that can happen too.
Well I had lap band in 08 and had full hair it thinned and never did came back...... but I can live with what I have...Im scared I'll lose even more this.time and it won't come back.....that is a major worry for me.. the top is the thinnest :( I am.dreading this

It freaked me out at first that I had so much hair falling out when I washed it! I cut into a cute bob and I never noticed the loss when styling! With that being said my hair is fine, but I have a ton of it! Right now I have a bunch of new hair growth!

Nope. I have very fine hair, and when it grew back post-op it was just the same as before.
