Amount of hair loss...



Recommended Posts

Ok I am pre-op but experienced massive (or so it seemed) a while ago and tried this stuff I found on-line called "hair essentials" out of desperation and the reviews on their website..... That stuff actually worked! I started seeing little sprouts in about 2 weeks and way less in the sink. 3 things... It grew in gray.... It stops working when you stop taking it and it's a little pricey. I don't sell it or receive anything for advertising, and I quit taking it because Im saving up for my sleeve but it's worth looking into and I plan in going back on it as soon as I have all my surgery money accounted for.

I'm about 8.5 months post-op.. I'm noticing lots an lots of baby hair growth.

I started losing at 3-4 months at slightly alarming rates - mostly noticeable around my hairline. I already have thin hair but lots of it, if that makes sense.

Loss slowed around 6 months, and now the baby hairs are about 1-1.5 inches, and numerous enough to see them "sticking out".

My hair is pretty long, and I've been growing it out for years, so I refuse to cut it off.

Been taking 10,000 mmg of Biotin daily, plus high potency Multi, 2 Omega 3-6-9 supplements, and Calcium

Also always been very on top of Protein. A "bad day" is 60-70 grams. Usually around 80-100. Not sure where I am now...

Bottom line.. Hang in there! If your experience is anything like mine, it will turn around pretty quickly

I am about 2 1/2 months out, and have started seeing more and more going down the drain, in my brush, and on the floor. I am getting it chopped tomorrow morning! I am excited! I will have 14 inches to donate! I'm doing it while I still have enough for someone to benefit from, and if it falls out after it's cut off I don't think I'll care much. I knew this would probably happen, so before I even got the surgery, I said when it starts to go, it's all gonna go! Besides, new hair for a new body? Heck, yeah!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
