Question for Women Who Have Had Babies- Hair Loss



Recommended Posts

I have hit the three-month mark and my hair is starting to fall out. So far, not too bad. It reminds me of losing my hair after each of my three pregnancies. For those of you already past this, was it about like the Hair loss with pregnancy? I am hoping it doesn't get worse!

I am 4 months post op and it is still coming out. I started losing around 3 months as well. According to my Bariatric team it should hopefully stop soon. The good news is it is just thinning, there are no bald spots.

I started taking Biotin about 3 weeks ago.

Biotin will help with regrowth but it will not stop the dead hairs from shedding.

It does remind me of the Hair loss after pregnancy. I'm only 2 months out and I'm starting to shed. I take Vitamins, but it still fas out. I'm guessing it's gonna take a while before my body can catch up to the lack of calories and slow down of hairloss

The good news is I am Italian and had a very thick head of hair. Now it is pretty but thin.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm 4 1/4 months post sleeve surgery and have noticed that it seems my hair is falling out faster than normal. I'm taking Biotin, but am wondering if there is a really good brand that someone knows of?

Drying my hair right now and every time I run my hand through my hair, lots of hair falls all over my keyboard!

I had thin (and fine) hair to begin with so this was something I was really worried about. My doc told me Protein, Protein, protein. Our nails and hair are made from protein (keratin) so it is vital to make sure we are getting enough. With both of my pregnancies, my hair stopped shedding and I was ecstatic, but after they were born the shedding resumed. I went to a dermatologist a couple of years ago and he recommended women's rogain. Well, I am horrible about using it every single day so I never really noticed a difference. I had heard a bunch of people recommend Biotin for nails and hair even before surgery and the doc mentioned it as a supplement so I thought 'why not.' I am also a pretty skeptical person, but I have to say, the Biotin has worked very well for me. I do still shed, but it isn't a big increase over what I experienced before surgery, so I am happy!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
