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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
