I'm happy to say this is about half of what usually has been coming out! It DOES get better.....today is going to be a great day!

**Sniffle**, just went natural for my hair to start growing thinking shoulder length should be nice but after a whole year, it's now down my back and I am not looking forward to the shedding part....ugh but at least, it stops and hopefully regrows fully!!

Hey Molly, it has been a couple more months since this post. How is the hair situation? I'm just over 5 months and some days I think it might be getting better, but not really sure. Partly because I cut most of it off the last time I went to my hairdresser so it's not as noticeable as when I had the long hair. I sure hope it stops soon! I want to grow it out again!!

Curious about this also..almost 7 months out and my hair loss is shocking!

I too am horrified by the gobs of hair that Im losing on a daily basis. Im 5 months post sleeve and have been noticing hair loss for the past several weeks. Ive been careful to take all Vitamins associated with keeping hair in good health, but I think there is probably nothing that can prevent the loss of hair when we lose so much weight so rapidly. Still… hard to cope with.

I was shedding like crazy starting with month 3 post op but then by around month 6 it slowed significantly and then by month 8 or so I think its back to normal. My theory on this is to really monitor and focus on Protein intake. And keep in mind that there is a time lag between when you start eating alot of protein and when you seen results. I think thats why hair loss only starts around month 3 for most people. So if you up protein then it might take 2 to 3 months before you see improvement.
