Hair Loss

[m.sexton 33]

When does the Hair loss slow down? I was sleeved on November 6, 2015 and I am 7 months out. My hair is still falling out. I am taking all my Vitamins and Biotin and I am getting most of my Protein in.

I don't wont to cut it off but looks like I don't have many choices!

For most people Hair loss lasts between 3 & 6 months duration.

I'm two months post surgery and I have been able to keep my hair by taking Biotin everyday. Or am I incorrect and it just hasn't happened yet?

It might not have happened yet or might not happen at all - but unlikely to do with biotin. Usually it happens or it doesn't regardless of attempts to prevent.

My one year anniversary was on August 12, 2017 and its so disappointing to see my Hair loss. I am taking all my post op Vitamins and Biotin. But I have lost a lot and don't know what I can do to bring it back. So anybody with any suggestions please let me know cuz its devastating

@@shirleyjohn001 Have they done bloodwork to make sure everything is good? Thyroid? hair loss will happen if it's going to happen - not much you can do to prevent it. It usually grows back - but if not - you should speak to your PCP or surgeon.

I did my one year post op blood work and all looked normal except for my A1C and fasting blood sugar which was a little high (A1c came down from 8 to 5.8 and fasting blood sugar was 102). But they did not mention anything about thyroid. Do you think I should ask them for that specifically?

@@shirleyjohn001 hair loss is common with weight loss surgery - but if it's not growing back I would have them check thyroid just to be sure.

I will be having surgery next week my nutrition Dr has me taking tons of Vitamins and I have to have 93 Proteins or more a day so I do not loose my hair and 90 oz of Water as well. I have been on a diet for 7 months before surgery no Hair loss so far.
