Question:
Am I going to lose my hair again?

My WLS was in Dec. I do believe my hair loss is stopping now. Iam scheduled for a gallbladder removal in May.( yes I did have a sonogram prior to surgery showing no stones) but I got them now after 3 months after surgery. Will I start the hair loss cycle again??? I only have a couple of hairs left!!!!LOL Help!!!    — Laura G. (posted on April 2, 2002)

I would see no reason for further hair loss. I had my gallbladder removed, prior to WLS and had no loss at all. The hair loss is due to lack of nutrition, as long as you continue eating properly you should be fine. Good luck.

I had WLS in March 2001. By month 6, I had lost a bunch of hair. I then had an emergency appendectomy in February 2002. I thought I would lose more hair, but no such thing. I agree with the poster who said the hair loss with WLS has more to do with nutrition than anesthesia!
