I keep having hair fall out by the handful :( Every morning I have at least two hand fulls and when u look at me you can see a reseeding hair line! Does any one have any suggestions on what to do? This is very devastating as I used to have such think hair I had all I could do to put it up and now its so thin it scares the poop out of me :(

Went through that too. Talk to your dr right away. My dr put me on a 3 month Vitamin regimen and it helped. My hair is starting to grow back.

I was told the same thing, more Vitamins, more Protein and that I could try Biotin if I wanted. It's scary to see so much hair fall out...

Ok, so I know this is going sound super weird, but I've had this problem before I've found Biotin helps but through a Mexican friend I found out that if you crush up birth control pills and mix them in with your Shampoo it help with the hair loss and allows hair to grow quicker. I'm no expert but it has worked on me, it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. I've found a lot of friend who no longer use their pills and they give them to me.

Just a thought. ;)

I have PCOS so the cause of my Hair loss is an excess of androgens. It got so bad i had bald spots on my head. The drain would be backed up from all the hair loss in a single shower. I currently take spirunolactone (sp?) Which blocks androgens, taking Biotin and i also use Bosley Hair Care for thinning hair. I had my Vitamin D levels checked and they were low... which causes hair loss. My Dr. Put me on Vitamin D one pill a week for 12 weeks, then follow with a pharmacy Vitamin D supplement daily. My hair has stopped falling out but it doesnt seem to be growing back... :(

I think this happens to all of us. The beat that worked for me was making sure to not put anything into my mouth that didn't contain Protein, Biotin helps a lot and also my Dr prescribed pre-natals and a trim. It has worked wonders, hair is even healthier than pre-band. But don't worry its normal.

Where do you get birth control pills from for your hair and how did someone figure that out?

Its not birth control. Its called Spironolactone. Its a DHT receptors blocker. Google it. I notoced that my hair is growing back :) make sure that your dr checks your creatin leavels at it can affect kidney function

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
