How Long Does Hair Loss Last!?



Recommended Posts

I was banded in March and I have been noticing my Hair loss for about the last 2 months. I am trying to get enough Protein but it is really difficult some days. I am hoping it stops soon. I have always had really thick hair and now it's so thin. I really need to get my hair colored but am too scared that even more will come out if I do. I will try the Biotin that everyone seems to be talking about. Hope it helps...

Mine started around 3 months post op and lasted until about 6 months post op. I was told by my nurse that Biotin can take up to a year before you really notice results. I have been on it for at least a year now. I just had a Tummy Tuck a month ago, so I dont know if has helped or not yet.

I was banded feb. Hair loss started in may. It was horrible I lost a lot of hair. It slowed when I added a pre-natal Vitamin. I get enough Protein. I take 5000mcg of Biotin. I found a Shampoo from TRESemme that's meant for hair loss. It works wonders. Noticed a difference in about a week (don't know why the bottle is in Spanish. Lol I bought it at Walmart)

Nioxin shampoo..conditioner and scalp treatment are amazing products for thinning or hair loss...I use them in my salon...any change in diet.. meds..surgery or tramua can't reflect on ur hair and nails they are both made of keratin..deep conditions and keratin treatments are both great ideas to combat Hair loss or breakage..Paul Mitchell has a wondeful line of Wild Ginger Keratin products

So specific one. I just looked for a smaller pill and one with Iron. I read low Iron can also cause Hair loss.< /p>

      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?
