Urgent: I am 4 months out on my Gastric Sleeve surgery and my hair is starting to fall out and thin out really bad I am taking my vitamins and also a hair,skin and nail vitamin with Biotin but I’m really uncomfortable with losing my hair has anyone have or had this problem and do you have any suggestions on what I can do for this😞😞

I can only offer sympathy, sorry. It happens to a lot of people and doesn't seem to be anything to do but wait it out. Hair is in one of two phases every three months, resting or growing. I read it can take a year to stop shedding - likely in 4 months I will be crying over mine. You could try a wig or opt for a short fluffy haircut.

Sue is right. The hair loss is from the shock of the surgery, and usually falls out from month 3 to 9ish postop. It should grow back starting at your 1 year surgiversary. Most people seem to lose about half their hair, evenly over the head.
No way to prevent it. Nutrition now will help it once it starts regrowing.
