Please Let The Hair Loss Stop!



Recommended Posts

I thought that if mine started to fall out it wouldn't impact me emotionally- but it is freaking me out! There is so much! I have a ton of hair, but it's kind of embarrassing at work I feel like I'm covered in it! I've been taking Biotin since like week 2, eating Protein, and thought since I wasn't losing super fast it wouldn't happen to me. But it is, and it sucks. I'm 3.5 months out... so I'm looking at another 2.5 months? Is that the consensus? It stops around month 6? Ughhhhhh. Thanks for letting me complain without reminding me that I did this to myself.

I feel the exact same way! This weekend I cut about 6 inches off. I'm hoping this will help as I was shedding every where I went!

I have posted this before but here it goes. I am using Revita Shampoo and conditioner. This will not stop loss but it is a follicle stimulator that causes regrowth quicker and stimulates follicles that haven't grown hair in a long time. My stylist told me about it and I have been using it for about 2 months now. I went to him a couple of weeks ago and had him check my head for regrowth and it is all over the place including areas that were thin before the surgery. This stuff is working for me and I am going to continue using it. You can buy it on Amazon for about $35.00 for both shampoo and conditioner. I figured if I am losing I can grow at the same time and it is working. Good luck to all of you. :)

Quick question, does your head itch at all from the regrowth? Just curious :)

No not at all. I wondered if that would be a side affect but nothing happened just new hair growth. :)

Wow, this is definitely not what I wanted to hear. I am pre surgery and I really do not want to lose any of my hair but I suppose I will have to make a choice...lose weight/lose hair VS keep hair/keep weight. I know I want the weight gone... I will learn to adjust.

<p>Ugh! I'm not quite up to 3 months out yet, and my hair loss it terrible!!! I lose handfulls every time I wash, brush, or even comb my fingers through my hair! I was blessed to have really thick hair, so it's not noticeable yet. But, I am fearful every day that I'm going to wake up with a bald spot! Am taking Biotin and my doctor friend suggested eating concentrated Jello for the Gelatin. Anyone else heard of that?</p>

Yes. Make the Jello as directed, but instead of putting it in the fridge to set drink it!

7 months out and still losing hair... i have cut it shorter and am trying different styles to cover the gaps. But have started looking at ways of supplementing my hair.< /p>

We have a place called Lucinda Ellery and they provide hair filling services for women losing hair. The results are amazing but not cheap. But am getting close to a consultation if this continues....

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
