I am 5 months out (exactly today!) and am happier, healthier, look better, and off all medications. But I am losing my hair (and you most likely will too so you need to know this).

I have posted this and other info on my weekly update, take a look if you want to know what to expect (or at least I have updated my journey....everyone is different....my is a kind of travel/weight loss blog!

Do you know how long it takes for us to start seeing new growth?

Thank you for posting and sharing! First, I must say, congratulations on all your successes. Second, you look awesome. Your hair doesn't look bad at all. At first, I was a little scared to look at the pictures, since I'm getting sleeved April 4. But when I looked at them, it was a sigh of relief. You look amazing!! Congrats!!

Good morning!

Thanks for the responses....regarding the hair regrowth: I think it's different for everyone. They say between 4-6 months is when you will start seeing the hair loss and sure enough, right at 4 months 2 weeks is when it started happening for me. Luckily so far it's just thinning; no clumps or bald spots (but stay tuned). Keep watching my blog (or register for automatic updates if you haven't already) and I'll keep you updated on if I am at the bottom now and seeing new growth or if I continue to lose. According to what I have read; you will lose for a couple of months then around month 7 it will start to come back. Biotin is one of the supplements recommended (and it's a teeny pill so very easy to take after surgery; in fact mine is one you put under your tongue so it dissolves). But you should start taking that soon.

Good luck to both of you and thanks for reading my blog!
