Surgery was 12-12-12 and I'm down 56 lb. my hair has been falling out like crazy for a month. Has anyone had experience with this?

Ugh dr told me to expect this....... I'm only one week out so not yet but went ahead and starting taking biotin. Hoping it helps.....

hello. i hear that taking biotin helps.. if u live near a cvs pharmacy, they are on sale... buy one get one free... good luck.. hope this helps...

My did not happen til 5 months. A person can do everything right & it still can happen but I slacked off on my vitamins and think this increased/caused it. Here is what I do now

Biotine daily

All my vitamins

Wash hair less, more gently, towel dry gently, brush gently

Pull hair up & clip so people can't see my ears showing through

After all this I try to ignore my hair & look at my smaller hips instead.

Good luck

Yes, everyone struggles with hair loss to some degree. Try and eat as much protein as you can and be consistent with all your vitamins. I've read mixed results with biotin. Some say it helps; others, not so much. My personal experience with hair loss was about 3 months long (over now for 2 months). I was losing some hair (a few hairs every time I tugged on it), but nothing near some of the percentiles that you can read about on this site. Try and shoot way above the minimum 80 grams and try for between 100-125 grams. It will take some supplementation with shakes to consume this much protein.

Your hair is falling out because you are not getting enough protein. The ratio of protein should be 60-80% a day.

This is very common and can be due to a number of things but both my doc and hairdresser have said it is a reaction to the surgery. Mine started at 3 months out and now atr 7 months out has almost stopped. Ive been good with getting in LOTS of protein and take biotin too and I have lots of new babyfluff hair growing in now although my hair is very thin! I also use a scalp massager which can help stimulate growth.

I'm 6 months out and the loss has not stopped! It started at about 2 months out and has continued steadily. I take all the vitamins/protein etc.as recommended and still losing hair. I think this is very common and unpreventable from what I have read...

It will grow back.

I think I've lost at least 5 lbs of hair
