I'm 10 months post op and I'm losing hair. I get plenty of Protein and take Biotin. I just noticed this 2 days ago as I was washing it and it was in the drain of the shower and then putting hair products in it. About 3 months into my journey I had a problem with my hair being very brittle and dry and breaking off, almost damaged, got that controlled and is now healthy again but is falling out now, OMG, what else is there to do besides protein and Biotin?

Some people swear by a Shampoo that you can get that contains nioxin but I've never tried it.

I am 4 months out and take Biotin since surgery. My doctor told me that 1/3 of women that get WLS will lose hair due to rapid weight loss. Last week I cut my long hair due to breakage and it falling out. It will grow back though!

I am on meds but not any new meds, have been on the same meds for a while. I know it will grow back, I'm not losing clumps, its just thinning and its noticeable (did I spell that right, lol) anyway, just when i got it healthy again, dang. Thanks everyone for your input. Haven't asked my stylist yet, that's my next step.

Talk to your dr. Mine gave me a Vitamin regimen that I took for three months. A different combination every two hours. My hair stopped falling out and I have new growth. You can only stay ogn it for three months. Now I just take my Calcium, multiple and I still take Biotin. The shampoos did not do anything for me.

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

      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! 😞
