I'm 2 months out and haven't lost a bit. I think the key is making sure you get all of the protein recommended. Those that have lost hair that I've talked to said they couldn't stomach protein. It's essential!

It didn't hit me till around the three month mark. I get in all my protein and take biotin and I am still loosing my hair. I was told to expect to loose it for 6-8 weeks so I am hopefully I only have two weeks left. I don't loose a ton at once, mostly with hair washing and then a hand full of strands here and there. I notice that my hair is thinner but not patchy or anything like.

Oh I know it was in my pre op paper work, I had to sign a document stating that I understood this.

Man that's a scary feeling ugh

That's what God made those awesome wigs for! I plan on cutting most of mine off when I get to my goal weight anyway. A whole new look. And, with wigs, I can have fun with lots of alter-egos. I bet my husband will like that, too! ;)

It was kinda unbelievable how much came out in my hands everyday :( but its slowing down now,

I'm almost 6 months. I can really notice!

But everyone else tells me they can't,

But my family is sick of seeing it all over the bathroom :o

If it gets too bad I'm just going to buy those hair fibers that a few girls here have used, because its only temporary and I love my hair :P

But it's not gotten to that stage yet.

Yup ... Starts around 4 months to the best of us ! No matter what u take !!! The good thing is it grows back ;)

I'm stomaching protein just well, 3 months out & my hair is falling out by the gobs. Taking all my Vitamins, b12s, bio tins since week 1. It's just happens regardless (to most).

Mine was about the same.... i have thin hair anyway... but i noticed i was shedding worse then a long haired dog for about 2 to 3 months.... it started about 3 months out for me and lasted about 2 or 3 months I thought It wasnt going to happen since it took 3 months But No one notices except my BF that was going around finding hair on the couch, shower! and floors lol!!!

it's really not that bad....... my profile picture is about the time I noticed the hairloss the most...... just remember, it is temporary! My hair is growing great now and I am at 9 months.
