Hi All,

I am a licensed cosmetologist and before you get upset with your hair loss, on average you lose anywhere from 80 to 100 strands of hair per day that's normal. If you are losing more than that 100 per day it will taper off. Surgery is shock to the body and this can be a side effect make sure you continue taken your Multivitamin. And yes, it will grow back!

Smile,

T

My dermatologist gives my scalp injections fortnightly to make hair grow back :/ (had a huge round bald patch on back of head after pneuminia hospitalisation). After 6 weeks i am finally seeing regrowth, although derm said 6 weeks is about normal...

Because its growing back he said Biotin supplements were probably a waste of money and there is some Biotin in my swisse multi anyway...

I've also upped Protein shake to regrow....

But I do think 80% or so of hair def. grows back on its own :)

Where did you get the Biotin Shampoo?

I buy Biotin shampoo and conditioner from Purtian's Pride. I like Jason's. http://www.puritan.com/shampoo-conditioner-037?Mcid=70

It sounds like you need to increase your Protein. Check with your doctor or baratric coordinator as to how much you should be getting a day. I take Biotin and use the Shampoo too (I found at Whole Foods). Good luck!!

I was worried about Hair loss before I had my surgery. Not long after my surgery, I talked to my cosmetologist about it. Before surgery, I had very thick hair. I started noticing excessive loss when I was about 3 months out from surgery.

To be proactive, I talked to my stylist about the best cut to minimize hair loss (or the appearance of it). I normally get my hair thinned, but I stopped that for a while too. I also quit coloring my hair for about the first 10 months. I didn't want to weaken anything further than surgery already did. I cut back on how often I washed my hair (every other day instead of daily), and I took Biotin and listened to my stylist.

My stylist was also able to recommend products that would help. I was glad I talked to her and teamed up with her on the issue. She was also able to reassure me that my loss wasn't drastic.

I got Garnier Fructis Fall fight. Pretty inexpensive compared to other prices I saw out there. I made sure I had plenty of Protein too. My Doctor said it was because of the huge drop of Calories to my system that caused the Hair loss. But the body adjusts after 4 months . I got a new short hair cut but it is still thinner than before I had surgery. With my thinner bod, I cannot complain too much! ;)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
