How long does hair loss usually last? I'm 5 months post op and have been losing an excessive amount of hair lately :/

I'm almost 8 weeks out and mine is falling out. I'm getting 60-80 g of protein a day so I'm guessing that's not enough. Doc said I wouldn't lose my hair if I had my protein and took my vitamins. Still falling out.

I am 7 mos post op and my hair loss has slowed WAY DOWN. I believe I started losing about 4 mos out. My hair is definetly thin on top but not bad at all. I have been taking Folic Acid as a prescription for 15 years and I added a biotin pill as well. I had a rough couple of months so I did not even get close to meeting my protein goal.

Your hair falls out anyway. Really not much you can do about it. It's the weight loss from extreme drop in calories and anesthesia. Docs shouldn't tell their patient it won't happen if you do such and such cause it happens to everyone.

I asked my doc about this. He said your hair will this, that's normal. But if your hair is falling out, you need more protein. I have no idea if that's true or not since it's the first time I've heard of it.

I lost mine from month 3 and now in 7 it is starting to thicken up again. I got all my protein and vitamins. The biotin doesn't help stop hair loss but it was a tremendous help for growing back...the entire time I was losing I had regrowth because of biotin (granted much slower than I was losing hair lol) its just a phase amd if its gonna happen to u there is nothing u can really do just stuff that helps. I ended up getting highlights to disguise some of the thinning too because I have really dark hair. I swallowed 10000mg at 3 months it didn't bother me plus it was a very small pill

Interesting! I'm glad you said that because he definitely had me thinking I could prevent it completely.
