How many of you have lost hair?



Recommended Posts

I bought some expensive Adeva products and mine has started to slow. I'm not sure if its the products or just my natural body reaction. Either way I'm glad it seems better.

Did you buy a particular product from Aveda that's supposed to help with hairloss? I love the way Aveda products smell and would love an excuse to splurge on their stuff :)

That's exactly what I thought when I purchased it. It's called Invati. There is a Shampoo, conditioner and scalp revitalizer. I purchased all 3.

Yep. Mine started about two and a half months post op. It took me a couple of days to notice. The drain in my shower had more hair than normal. Everyone I brush my hair there is a big wad. It is starting to stress me out and I hope it stops soon. It isn't clumps. Pretty much all day long I have to pull two or three strands out that are loosely hanging. No one notices until I point it out or show them my brush. But I have a lot of hair.

I thought I wouldn't lose hair because growing up I couldn't stop it from growing! Everywhere!

I've lost about 5 inches and my hair has thinned out alot. I kept seeing hair wrapped around my ponytail holder and when I washed it there was a huge difference in the thickness and texture. It seems like it's trying to thicken a little but I terribly miss my hair.... :unsure:

Omg me too! Not just losing hair but I've noticed a big difference in the texture too. It almost feels really dry or something. I wonder why?

My hair feels very dry and dead. Not really falling out but I am not even three weeks out.

Mine was like that too, then at 2 1/2 months it started coming out and is still goin strong a month later. Still feels dry and dead, not like my hair pre surgery. It used to be healthy and soft. :(

Mine started thinning about 6 months out. It didn't clump but definitely falling out. I wasn't good about my Protein supplements or Vitamins previously. I am definitely getting them ALL in now. I heard it eventually stops and grows back. I wish it would hurry up and grow back.

I am 7 months post op and YES my hair starting falling out, not in clumps or anything, but if I ran my fingers through my hair I would have a lot in my hands. When I brushed my hair more would come out. My fair was pretty long and thick, so I had I cut it real short and now my hair is healthy again. It doesn't shed anyone and its not as thin looking. Might want to think about cutting it a little. Good luck.

I keep reading that hair loss may happen after surgery. Are we talking clumps of hair? Thinning? Need for wigs and hats?

Does it grow back?

This may seem like a trivial thing to worry about but I'd like my hair to stay on my head.

I'm at 12 weeks post surgery. My hair is falling out. Not in clumps but definately in the shower and when brushing it! My dr said it was normal 3-6 months out and it can last up to 2 months!!! He said to take Biotin. I have been taking GNC be beautiful hair skin and nails I get the chew and they are tasty.

Today I saw on tv (the doctors) a feature about hair thinning. It was recommended that we use men's products because the contain 5% of the growth product where women's products only have 2% this is because the product can grow hair where it's not wanted. Like Shampoo running down the face and causing Hair growth on the face.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
