Hi All - haven't been on here in awhile, guess cause my loss hasn't been that great and was ashamed to be on here....but I have been losing hair like crazy - anyone elese? I take citracal petites, Centrum chewables, and a pill for hair, skin and nails. Can anyone let me know I am not alone, and what you did to get your hair back?

thanks

I'm also 6 months post op and my hair looks absolutely awful!!! It was thin to begin with and now you can see my scalp.....I'm too young to be seeing my scalp. BUT, I have lost 70 lbs. so I guess I can live with the balding......as long as it's temporary (I hope). I do notice little short hairs...about an inch in length now - starting to pop up all over. If I pull my hair into a pony tail....my whole head looks fuzzy because the short hairs stick through. I can only hope it's on it's way back..... :thumbup:

That's called the "fuzzy chick" look, and yes, it generally means that your hair is coming back. Yeah for you!!

Also get your levels checked ask your doc. I was paranoid about the hair loss and have a thin spot there before surgery. I have anemia and just found out my vitamin D and B12 levels are extremely low. If I wouldnt have seen Dr. Oz and asked about D levels I wouldnt have known. I am taking iron supplement with doc rec, B12 1000 mcg, Biotin 100mg and vit D and primary doc gonna monitor closely. So get with your regular doc I would say vs surgeon. I was taking centrum adult chewables faithfully and that wasnt enough. So I urge u to get with your doc and ask him/her about it
