Mine is too.I am only 4 months out but I have been losing out for about a month and a half. My hair is super thin.there is no end in sight. I UAE Xfusion.to cover up my balding spots. I have also bought a couple wigs just in case.

I meant that I use Xfusion

I'm so sad to say my hair is falling out now too

I knew it could happen so I am holding on to the fact people say its not permanent.

Aye yi yi

I hope it is not permanent I was just chattıng wıth two women who told me to use proteın shakes and a multivitmin to help

hair loss is something I researched extensively prior to surgery.

Biotin is supposed to help slow it down. Best to start taking 8 weeks post op.

Are ya'll getting your Protein in?

Yes, I've heard that too. Im going to up my protein.

I'm getting in about 60 a day right now.

Guess I need more -__-

Yeah, mine started at 4 months...lasted till 7 months. It is just now starting to look marginally better. I take silica complex , not sure if it helped but I am not losing anymore so.....good luck! no, it isnt permanent so dont worry!

Thank you!!!! I was getting a little scared of it getting skınny and bald at the same tıme oooooooowwweeeee

You lose hair down to bald spots? This is not good news. Has anyone NOT experienced significant hair loss? My nutritionist info said it happens between 4-6 months but I'm wondering how bad it is?

I can see my scalp and my hairline has receeded ıt comes out ın hanfuls of long strands and ı hate ıt

Mine is pretty bad and I am almost 4 months out and pray it won't get any worse...my is very thin on top and front. I am taking vitamins and getting my protein. I don't want to cut it but may have to.

My nutritionist said that she sees little to no hair loss in patients who are getting in enough protein. Once I have my surgery, she wants me to eat around 64 grams/day (amt. is based on height/weight). She used to work in a different hospital where the bariatric surgeons didn't require protein shakes everyday, and she saw way more hair loss. That being said, I've heard it's definitely not permanent and will get better!

If you get full bald patches (alopecia areata) you can see a dermatologist for a topical steroidal cream or even injections. Other than that, protein, possibly some biotin in your multivitamin, and an increase in nutrient-dense calories will help over the long term

Very good article...

im 10 months post op. i started losing my beautiful, thick long (down to my butt) hair at about 3-4months post op. i would have to say that i lost 7/8ths of my hair. i now have very thin hair. i lost so much hair that its all uneven & horrible looking. my hair line receeded horribly but started growing back some recently. i mean, i do see growth so i guess "it does grow back" but the process of it falling out & then actually growing in a nice length is a crazy depressing time! i even did a video on youtube showing the CHUNKS of hair that came out of my head. i wish my hair looked like my main pic!

i was taking Biotin & biosil drops but ive since fell off but i am going to start taking them again as i dont want to be bald forever
