Hair Loss For People With Already Thin Hair



Recommended Posts

I think my Hair loss is starting. I have super thin hair already and you can see my scalp.. especially when my hair is wet. I am wondering if any of you out there have/had thin hair prior to surgery and what happened when your hair started falling out. Did it grow back? Did you look bald?

I have some Xfusion that I wear and it really, really helps with concealing the thin areas. I hope it will still help when my hair gets thinner.

I have hypothyroidism and my hair fell out a lot before my hormone dosage was corrected after a couple years ( I had a non-responsive PCP back then). So my hair was really thin. Then I had a VSG and at month three, more hair fell out until month 9. The crown of my head was really thin and my part was pretty wide, but it all starting growing back and now I'm 19 months post-op and it's growing well. It will take a few years to get it as thick as it was before all this, but it doesn't look thin now and there is new hair at the crown.

This is my second biggest fear. My hair is also so thin with a super large part. I was thinking of getting a fun wig. I sure hope it grows back like everyone is stating. Of course my first biggest fear is gaining all my weight back.

I even bought a wig already! lol.. I have to find a salon that will cut it for me, though. I just don't know if I could get used to wearing one. It seems so HOT under that thing. And what if it falls off? I would be mortified.

I would die if it fell off too. I live in AZ and even winter is hot. So I guess I will hope for my hair to grow back fast:-)

Great question, thanks for asking it. I have this same fear as I am experiencing thining hair now. I too was thinking of getting a wig now just in case :-(

This is probably my biggest fear that I will go bald on top as its already thin.

Mine was thinning and I wore wigs. I purchased three cute ones and rocked them with head bands and head wraps. Before you knew it my hair was back to normal after 7 months. Take care and good luck to you.

Where did you find cute wigs? Did you use human hair? I know NOTHING about wigs.

Does Rogaine help it grow back quicker? Mine is already thin and now it's falling out. Yikes!

I just walked into the beauty supply store, they had like one million wigs. I just tried them on and purchased 3. I still wear them to give myself a break from messing with my hair.< /p>

I'm worried about this too but I think I have a good solution...

TRACKS!! Glue-ins of course. Just glue some in and your hair will look more full. I get tracks all the time!!

The trick is hiding the track itself because with thin hair, the weft of the track can be thick and bulging. But to fix that all you have to do is split them right down the middle. BOOM! Thinner tracks easy to hide in thin hair!

I always thought those thing would ruin hair when you take them out...like pull your hair or something

If my Xfusion stops working, I may have to check into that!

      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...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
