extreme hair loss :(



Recommended Posts

I came across this and HAD to read it because I noticed this on me too the other day. I was sitting at work and could feel "spiders" on my arms...it was my hair just falling out. I have never had hair problems and my hairdresser swore after my pregnancy that my hair would thin...no way. Anyhow, I'm just about 4 months out from my surgery and my hair is falling out like crazy. I have a huge thick head of hair but for me this is alarming. I'm going to start the Biotin and see how it goes. It seems like it is a pattern between 4-5 months people start noticing this side effect. I'm NOT losing weight in any alarming amount....ugh...but maybe it is just the surgery issue??

It is. It's from the shock of surgery. I have clients who have had surgery and about 4-6 months after they start losing hair... But it should all come back. :-)

Anyone out there knows how long this last. I started at 3 months out and I have been shedding about 5 1/2 weeks. It is scary and I find that my texture is changing. That part I like. How long does this last? weeks or months? I am a hair person, but I can't take too much more. Please advise bandsters out there.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
