How long did it take you to start to see your hair grow back? I'm a little over 4 months out and it's been falling out in globs :( I already had thinning hair and now it's worse. I take 10,000 mg of Biotin daily, and bought that "Wet" brush people talked about (good brush, btw! lol)...but...still nothing. How long does it normally take? Anybody know?

I am not sure on that, still pre-op, but I got Shampoo at CVS called "Bioton & Collegen" its in a dark purple plastic round fat bottle with a big gold cap. I think it is put out by "Organix" or a name close to that...It was around 5.00..my hair is nice & thick now, it does work for me...preparing for the loss...Good Luck!

When I was going through chemo, I lost about 2/3 of my hair. Mostly all in one day. Here are some tricks that I used that seemed to help.

10,000 Biotin every day.

Do not comb or brush your hair. Finger comb.

Do not use any heated appliances on your hair. No blow dryers, no curling irons, etc.

Do not have any treatments added to your hair. No straightening, no coloring or perming.

Get some Aloe Vera juice and spray your scalp with it at least once a day. It conditions the scalp.

No hats. No barrettes. Nothing that is likely to pull at your hair.

Hope that helps!

Oh man, I can't imagine not coloring my hair LOL Ugh. But..anything that may help I guess :) Thanks for the suggestions!

6-7 months out I can see regrowth? Not too much longer! I just hope it's not a ton more hair gone before then lol

I actually still colored my hair during the 'loss' period and it was fine. I just touched up the roots. There is NO WAY I was going without coloring lol.

Our hair is so fragile during this time. Not only falls out but also breaks really easily. You may want to hold off on the extensions until after this phase

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
