It is unavoidable...but I started taking Biotin & prenatal Vitamins a year before surgery. Since surgery (I am 12 weeks out today), I started using biotin/collagen shampoo/conditioner & I am styling my hair less right now using less products on it. I haven't experienced it yet, but I know it usually hits around the 4 month mark...

Best of luck to you!

Im having surgery June 21st and I have 2 friends who are coming to 1 yr and 2 post up. They recommend Nioxin Shampoo they sell it at ulta or Online at Amazon. They also take Biotin and both have helped them a lot with Hair loss.< /p>

It's kind of just something to live with. I lost half my hair at 3 months. But it's growing back in!!! Lol

I just deal with it, it'll come back

Oh!! I'm six months out and my routine is..... Um.. Oh... Well... It doesn't matter actually because it fell out anyway! :P

But really if its going to happen its going to happen. I noticed it more than anyone else around me. It started at 4 months and now at 6 it's stopped and I'm hopeful it will come back.

The best thing you can do is just know that it will happen to some extent and come to peace with it and know its temporary.

Easy for you to say!!!! :P

I freaked the heck out for a long time. No use crying over spilt milk... Or in this case lost hair.

My husband told me to officially get over myself, he REFUSED to do anymore nightly scalp examinations. So I have taken matters into my own hands with a mirror. It's funny the OCD/Addictive behaviors that pop up, now that my old buddy "food" has been replaced. Seriously, shopping, realty TV you name it stuff is scaring me. One of the biggest reasons I have been MIA around here, staying up till 4 am on VST was getting out of hand. Just needed to rant :wacko:

Maybe clip in hair extensions would work. I Use them all the time And it's convenient and easy to use. And also gives you versatility if you want to also you don't have to worry about damaging it because it is a weave. Make sure that you bye human here from a local black beauty Supply store

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

      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! 😞
