Hrm... maybe have your labs done? It sounds like you're doing the things that normally help!

yep...losing it by the hand full also, but I still have a lot of hair so I'm not worried. It will grow back. I just hope it doesn't come back all white since I'm stating to get white hair....lol

Mine was coming out in clumps. The daily heartbreak was killing me. I was horrified at the handfuls of hair every time I brushed or showered. I had my head shaved bald last Sunday. My friend who did it for me took a clump of hair, pulled to check how bad it was....it ALL came out.

So I am getting free air conditioning for the summer, my hair will grow back when my body recovers from all the trauma and stabilizes. The forums seem to put Hair loss at 3-6 months. Mine did this in a big way at 3 weeks. I am gaining health and my beauty is not my hair

Oh no....so is it inevitable? I do not look forward to losing hair. Talk about adding insult to injury. I've been pumped up with Vitamins, supplements, and plenty of Biotin for 6 weeks now. I sure hope it helps.

It freaked me out a bit when it first started happening to me, even though my surgeon discussed it with me before surgery. Heck I even had to sign a form stating that I understood that this would happen!

But at 6 months (it started at 4 for me) it has definitely slowed down. I lost a lot! when I pull my hair back it feels so thin in my hands now :(

But I will say I'm the only one who really notices the thinness. But my family is sick of seeing my hair EVERYWHERE!

I told them if you are sick of my hair in the food I can always stop making dinner! :P

That's funny! Not! But I know what you mean I keep seeing the part In my hair looking bigger.

But just today I was blow drying my hair and the sides looked so thin as the air hit it, all I could see is scalp!

Not to mention when I blow dry hair flys all over the bathroom! :o

Hell even my hair in the profile picture looks thinner! :P

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
