When does hair loss start?



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 months post op and started taking Biotin a few weeks ago. I haven't seen any Hair loss so far. I was just curious to know when or if it started for you?

I think it really depends on a lot of factors. Maybe you'll just get lucky and it won't happen to you. I also think the more rapid the weight loss the more likely the Hair loss. I lost 100lbs in six months so I definitely noticed the hair loss. Once the weight loss stopped so did the hair loss.

MIne started shortly after surgery, but has slowed down quite a bit now. I'm six months post-op.

I do not recall having much Hair loss, but then again when I get a haircut often times they will thin my hair.< /p>

Mine started around 3 mths post op and it was at my 3rd fill a few weeks ago. I am losing A LOT now. Really focusing on high protein but may start Biotin this week.

Does anyone know of any drug interactions Biotin might have with beta blockers?

I've started taking Biotin a few months back, along with some extra Vitamins. Hoping it will help, along with my diet etc! Best Wishes that you just don't have any Hair loss at all! :D

5 months post op and it just started. Karma in my case. Got a little too big for my britches (did not intend to make a joke) and told someone I was not losing my hair. The next day I combed out several clumps. Oh, Karma was just waiting for me to stick my foot in my mouth.

I never had it come out in clumps but it was just a hair here or a hair there. Enough for me to notice in a hat or on a comb but not enough to notice on my head. One disclaimer is that I don't have a ton of thick fur up there in the first place. Lol.

      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.

      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...
