Almost 6 months out.... Hair is every where ! I officially have a mullet. When is it going to stop?? Ok I'm ok now...

Mine started at 3 months and slacked at 7 months. At months 8-10 it's growing back slowly.

Did it just start falling out recently?? I'm just curious. I'm about 4 months out from my surgery and havn't had any significant hair loss yet. Hopefully it dosn't happen. And I hope you stop losing yours VERY SOON!

hair loss is a result of Vitamins deficiencies. My surgeon said most wls patients will experience it. I've hear that 7 months is generally the start time. I'm already taking Biotin to help with that, I'm 3 weeks post-op. It helped when I went thru menopause to stop the loss and my surgeon and PCP both recommend it.

Being a person who has lost a fair amount of hair, i have found something, which I believe (and I am tentative in saying this), has helped drastically slow down my hair loss - and it aint Biotin.

It's Iron, folks.

I have upped my red meat consumption drastically, I take two complete Multivitamins a day (which have 100% of your daily requirement of iron per tablet) and..

I am swallowing two spatone Iron supplement sachets. I am still losing hair, don't get me wrong, but since I significantly upped my iron, it has definitely diminished.

I am constipated like a mo-fo, but I do think its working...

For info, the loss started at 3.5-4 months and I'm now approaching month 7.

Rather than my hair falling out.. I I more hair on my head.b

No Vitamin deficiency here and hair started dropping for me at the 3 month mark. I've been taking Biotin and all the other usual Vitamins we take. Still losing loads of hair.

However, with my pregnancies and hysterectomy I lost zero when most lose it then too.

Some people just lose it, some don't. I'm 6 months post op now and its calming down finally.

Started at 3 1/2 still going strong. I have been taking biotin since 2 months pre op. I'll try the iron!

Ok, I'm pre-op so I'm just trying to gather all the info I can from all the pro's and as I was reading your post, I was thinking, "Oh, that's a lot of Iron..." then I got to this part and almost choked. Sorry your constipated....but happy you talk like I do.
