Oh yes, very common and not a lot you can do about it. Mine fell out badly for several months, just now starting to slow down a little bit, at least it's down to strands instead of globs coming out now. Lost about 2/3 of my hair.

I have read a lot about Hair loss and mine started about 3 1/3 months out. I've lost almost half the volume of my hair. What I haven't been able to find is how long the loss lasts. Any ideas?

Yep. Same thing is happening to me. Two other people I know told me the same thing. But they also said that it started coming back a few months after it started. It stinks and it's really scary. I'm trying very hard to eat more Protein and am taking Biotin.

Yeah the 3 month mark seems to be just about right. At the 3rd month I started seeing globs of hair in my hand when I washed my hair, then a ton more on the floor when I blow dried. It was scary. But as they say, it will grow back. You will see lots of "baby hair" in the more skimpy areas and they will kind of stick up. I am 5 mths out of surgery and I think I can finally say, the globs has stopped. Now it is down to strands. Lots of it, but just not globs. So that is giving me an indication that the Hair loss is slowing down. Plus I ordered this prodcut from a friend from "it works" and I can't wait to try it. It is for hair and nails. It is packed with Vitamins and minerals for hair.

My doctors office gave me a paper and it stated: if you take your Vitamins and eat all your Protein you should

have a better chance of not loosing hair.< /p>

I started losing my hair between 3and 4 months out. I lost a good bit of the volume of my hair. I started taking Biotin and within a week it has dramatically decreased. I don't know if it's coincidence but I'll take it

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
