How Long Does Hair Loss Last!?



Recommended Posts

Am just over two months post op and the Hair loss is getting worse. I have been taking Biotin and Protein Shakes. I have read on here that it grows back, but when!? I already have short hair and am worried sick!

I'm also very anxious to hear what others have to say about this.

Doctor said it's from anesthesia. I am 6 months post banding and just started Biotin past week. We'll see.

That's weird though. I has had anesthesia before wight no hair loss. I just hope it stops soon!

I'm taking 7500mg Biotin and keeping up with Protein. I have thinning already on top of my head it's bad. Only 3 1/2 months I want it to stop. I cried today so sad. If you have thinning spots you can use toppix (powder for scalp) which helps. I have ordered a custom lace wig for top of my head since I feel that bad. Weight is coming off normal which is great but I wish I had more hair to cover the loss...

I've noticed more in the shower and on my shirt (mid length hair that I expect to break off here and there, but there's been more lately). Why does this happen?

I am eight months out from being banded and I still am dealing with thinning hair and Hair loss, after trying Biotin with no results I went to talk to my doc and even with taking my Vitamin D it showed in my lab levels that it still was not enough so they prescribed me a higher dose of Vitamin d im hoping it works. I just started it so its to early to tell

mine started about 3 months post surgery and after 2 months now its getting better , Biotin wont stop the hairloss it just helps the growing of the new hair , i noticed that after starting to drink at least one Protein Shake a day, it got better but it might be my imagination who knows ....i had very thin hair to begin with. so now if i wanna wear it in a ponytail it looks like a pigs tail thats how thin it is. but its just hair it will grow back until then i just have to be creative ;) ....long as this weight keeps coming off its all good :)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
