I had my WLS on April 19th of this year. I have lost a little hair, but nothing I can't hide. (Thank goodness, because I have thin hair to begin with) I was wondering if there is a safe time or a time that we can stop worrying about hair loss. As I approach my 6 mos. date, I'm getting hopeful that the worst of the hair loss my be over. Is this premature? Thanks for your imput.

I started losing hair significantly in month four. It was noticeably thinner, courser and drier by month six, but no bald spots. The loss slowed by month seven, and at 11 months I am halfway back to my old thickness, still very dry. I take a Multivitamin, B12, and Iron.

Btw, it was way worse than post partum.

Ok I'm day four n I thought I had no hair loss but just now I was playing with my hair n about ten or so strands came out at once in hand :0( from underneath. I hope it does not progress. I think it's stress of surgery that's all (I hope).

I am 6 months out and I think its starting to slow down. Got really bad in months 4 and 5 though.
