I am kinda attached to having hair.....what has been your experience with hair loss or thinning post op?

I've lost tons of hair but most of that is my fault since I'm not on top of taking my multi vitamins. I use to have hair down to my waist, I recently chopped it off to my shoulders, hopefully it will stop falling off soon..

Same here????

sorry, that same here was to cece.

About how much hair did you loose?

Every time I wash my hair I have about a handful and I was my hair every other day

Wash*

I too have been loosing hand full of hair. I have been drinking the protein shakes and eating as much protein as my body can take. I also have been more than excellent with the vitamins. I think it's just our body reacting to the weight loss shock and malnutrition since we cant really eat. I know I personally take 3-4 bites of a lean cuisine and I am done.

Absolutely Kix03, we're all probably nowhere near what we use to eat, plus it was one of the first warnings my doctor gave me, I was just hoping it wouldn't happen to me!! Oh well what can you do, it'll get better!!

WIGS!!!!!

I lost about 33% of my hair. I started taking biotin and silica and it helped my hair grow back faster, but didn't stop it from falling out. Now my hair grows so fast, it's hard to keep it colored....and straightened. LOL I stopped losing my hair around month 6 to 7.

Any surgery you have which requires anesthesia commonly results in hairloss due to the trauma... It isually always grows back... Just seems to take forever!

that trade off kinda sucks, thin and bald or fat with hair. oh well it'll grow back. has anyone experienced no hair loss at all?

I had more hair loss with my band and no more than usual with my sleeve. I made sure to get all my protein and vitamins in. I thankfully never lost handfuls. Good for me as I do not have thick hair anyways.
