I Dont Want To Lose My Hair!



Recommended Posts

Please tell me there is a chance I won't or at least that it will be minimal. I need to hear someone's story that didn't experience this.

I looked at your topic and thought,me neither but I'm losing it anyway..hehehe.We all think we might be the one not to lose it.Right!

Some dont but most do.Its not as bad as it seems.Most of us have more hair than we ever could have imagined.I have been lsoing loads for 3 months now and you cannot see my scalp or anything.It is a bit thinner but hey,I am a lot thinner...lol

Dont worry about it,it will be ok.

I agree with desertmom. I can see all of the hair in the shower coming out in clumps, but it isn't really noticeable to anyone else. Does anyone know when the Hair loss thing stops?

My hair thinned but I and my hair stylist were the only ones that noticed. Take your Vitamins and get your Protein - that'll help. Its a side effect for many just due to having surgery - the anesthesia can have that effect. You don't go bald - but you probably will lose some hair. Small price to pay to keep your life and be healthy.

I don't want to lose mine either, but it has started within the last week or so. It's scary. I hope it will only be noticeable to me and not to anyone else.

My hair was really thin to begin with. It is super thin now. My scalp is super noticable.... and it isn't just my imagination. You can search for the thread I started showing my Hair loss. It is worse now. I need to update it.

I think the posts will be all related to losing hair. It is a fact that 100% of us will lose hair after surgery. Some will lose more than others, I lost a lot of mine at 4 months and it has finally stopped falling out at 7 months. Good luck to you.

make sure to take "Biotin" everyday. I actually have fine hair and it seems that my hair is getting thicker. Some say it works others don't. It doesn't hurt to try it because if it helps will only benefit you.

Thank u for the replies. Fact is I have a TON of hair so hopefully it won't be too bad. I has 2 c sections and I don't remember any significant Hair loss. I did read an article a while back linking hair loss to what the body perceives as malnutrition. I feel like Sampson when it comes to my hair. I know that sounds vain but true nonetheless.

I can understand. My hair is very long (almost to my ankles). It's one of the reasons I'm so afraid of the hair loss that has just begun because cutting it really isn't an option. I hear that long hair shows the hair loss a lot more clearly. Oh well. It's in the Lord's hands. If I need to be bald and humbled, at least I'll be doing it in a smaller body. LOL!

I was losing a lot about 2 months out.. handfuls at a time. I have (had) very thick hair so no one has really noticed but me. Then I started using Fall Fight Shampoo from Garnier... it has Biotin in it and isn't expensive at all... can even get it at Walmart lol. Used to use salon shampoo (Redken) but when I started using Fall Fight I swear I'm losing less. Idk may be my imagination but sure seems to be helping... and hey, can't hurt right?

I am going to search for fall fight now!

What I would like to know is if the hair fallsmout again after plastics as people seem to lose hair after a lot of different major surgeries.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
