Wait it out, is all I know. I'll personally be glad when the wait is over!

Yep! Mine is starting to fall out like crazy. I see some bald spots. I'm heading to my hairdresser right now. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. I'm blonde w long shoulder length hair. Might just chop it all off bcs these long strands all over the place are really annoying.

Losing hair is just plain sucks. But it does grow back. Biotin does not stop the hair from falling out, it helps it grow back faster though. Your hair will grow back about 7 or 9 months out typically. But wow, look at what your body is doing......Transforming, now I love this side effect.........I take both biotin and silica and my hair is rapidly growing and growing longer than it has in the past. :)

Hello,

I am a Hairstylist for 14 years and just got sleeved Oct 15/2012. What you need to do is Protein,Protein, Protein. If you can not do the protein then you can go buy these Vitamins called hair skin and nails tablets. They are great,also Biotin tablets alone are good too for Hair loss. But a lot of people loose there hair after this surgery because of the lack of protein in the body. You will not loose all your hair but you will have some heavy shedding.

That will go away in time.

But if you want to go to your beautician have here to give you a protein or keratin treatment it ill stop the hair loss until you get the tablets or more protein.

I hope this helped?

Hi Annointed, is it the lack of Protein or the overall lack of food being consumed for the Hair loss? What did the physicians say about it ?

Yes it is a lack of Protein, My Dr said you have to consume at least 30 to 60 grams of Protein a day to not have hair lose. I have been blessed to not have any Hair loss because I do a lot of protein like shakes, chicken pureed of course. Don't worry not everybody has hair loss but try to get as much protein in as you can. A lack of food oh know we can't eat alot any way. It's just what you eat. :)

I hope this help :)

I've been getting between 70-90 g of Protein and my Vitamins and my hair is still falling out like crazy! But its not getting thin so I think it helps Hair growth. I bought bosley Shampoo and my hair is still falling out but its half the amount! If you can find it, I would try that.

This is freaking me the hell out cause I have fine hair too so I can't afford to lose any. I take Biotin 5000 religiously so if that high of a Protein intake and dosage of Biotin doesn't help...I'm screwed.

My Dr's office told me go buy either F.A.S.T. Shampoo and conditioner or Garlic (no it doesn't smell like garlic) shampoo and conditioner, they both have helped his patients grow their hair back faster.So I have them both in hand for after my surgery next week, just in case..I was getting Keratin treatments last year and loved them! My hair has never grown faster then it did when I was getting the Keratin..Good luck and as everyone else said, Protein, protein, protein..

      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? 🤷‍♀️
