Hair loss



Recommended Posts

It will have been 6 months since my surgery on February 6,2013 and my hair is falling out like CRAZY. I know some loss is to be expected, but this is drastic. I take Vitamin B1 thiamin. Is there anything else I can do??????

To avoid Hair loss you need to get a minimum of 65 grams of Protein daily and take Biotin. I also take a high dosage of b-12 but the most important is gettting in the protein !!!! My surgeon was very firm about that, I am 10 months post op and not losing any hair.< /p>

I am getting a minimum of 65g of Protein a day and my hair is still falling out in clumps. I've always had thick hair and now it's noticeably thin. I'm going to try Biotin. I'm desperate. My surgeon said that its not a Vitamin deficiency that going through the surgery causes your hair to go on the same dying cycle when I usually is random.

All regarding the Nioxin shampoo/conditioner, I have Alopecia (a Hair loss disease) and have been told over and over to try the Nioxin however it makes your hair fall out before you get better...just saying from experience you may want to try getting your Protein and Biotin in...

I've always had lots of hair..., until NOW! Had surgery 4/2/13 and have had NO trouble until last month, handfuls of hair coming out. Take Protein, b-12 nasal, Biotin, GNC wellness pill for women and my Vitamins. How long before anyone noticed a regrowth period. Wondering if I should cut my hair short short or hope for the best. No noticeable change to anyone but me, with brushing hair or shampooing. My hair is chin length. Hmmm please give me hope!

Surgery 4/30 here. Lush hair gone and thinning straw hair. I loved my hair but don't know if I should cut mine off too. Taking all my meds as I should and Biotin too. Idk..I guess I can always be grateful as there are wigs and extensions. I would shave it bald tho if it means getting this weight off

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
