Hello everyone!

I am 3 weeks post op ane have lost 35 lbs but im having a biiig problem and have no idea what to do. I am losing my hair at a really really rapid rate. Everytime I touch it, wash it, brush it, or comb it chunks of hair fall out. I read before I had surgery that this would happen and to make sure you keep your Protein up. I have anywhere between 75-85 grams a day and im taking ALL of my Vitamins. What can I do to slow this down? I turned 25 in June and already have a bald spot :( please help!

You need more Protein in your Diet. Go to the store and get BIOTIN...it really works!!!! 1 pill a day. please start adding at least 42 grams of protein and Please get the biotin....take it everyday.

It's totally normal. Your body is reacting to fast weight loss. Biotin really does work.

I would go see a dermatologist. That's what I did. He told me your body goes into a kind of shock with rapid weight loss and loosing hair is a symptom. However, you are still very early in the game. I didn't start loosing hair until about 6 months post op. It took about another 6 months for it to stop. Good luck!

Thank you all for the advice! I went to the store and got Biotin shortly after reading the posts. I have been taking in 75-85g of Protein so I know thats not the problem but I have my first fill tomorrow so I'm gonna talk to my doctor then :) THANK YOU ALL!!

My hair is also falling out like crazy. Your body also goes through shock from anesthesia which causes Hair loss. It should start coming back in soon!

I had the same problem. I also lost really fast. It stopped for a while, and my hair grew back, and it's unfortunately been happening a little bit again, but not too noticeably. I think it's just how it goes when you lose quickly. I've not taken any supplements for it, but I have heard that you can take Biotin, yes.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
