I was also sleeved in October and I'm losing hair like crazy. Some days are worse than others. My hair stylist said she can "barely" tell...I think she was being nice. I can really tell. Good news is, others on this board have said it slows down in months 7-9. I sure hope so!

Are you taking Biotin? I know there are shampoos that are suppose to help with hair growth, ie: F.A.S.T. or Garlic shampoo (smells delicious don't worry) and I think the other one is called Biotene or something, you can look into..I'm 8 weeks out, haven't started losing too much yet but I'm very worried about it so I started using this stuff now..good luck..

I'm just three months out and its alarming how much hair I'm losing. Scary. My Doc said it's cause our bodies think we're starving. She promised I won't go bald and said months 3-6 are the worst.

:"""( I'm loosing mine too. I have fine hair but alot of it. It at least I did before the hair loss started. It's been going on about 2 weeks now. I wanna cry every day. My hair is about to the middle of my back and it grows really slow so I really don't wanna have to cut it...but I've heard that's the best thing to do....should I??

Yup. You're eating similarly to an anorexic. Our bodies are in survival mode. I've heard that it gets better!

I also had mine in October. Been falling out like crazy for 3 months now. Down over 125 pounds and 10 more to go. I hope it stabilizes once I hit maintenance.

I know several women who have been sleeved and swear by the Chinese supplement Sheng Fa! Google it!

You may not be getting enough protein. My Mom's friend had the same thing happen and that's what her doctor told her. DRINK MORE PROTEIN SHAKES :)
