How soon after surgery did you notice hair loss? Im only 2 weeks post op and Im starting to see big clumps

I'm African American with locks and 7 months out and if my hair shed it locked and I'm glad to say No loss that I can see. Down 70 pounds which came off slow, maybe that's another reason.

I have short hair and its all natural now so I know Im not crazy lol its alot of hair for now...idk maybe I wasnt getting enough nutrition during my pre-op and liver reduction diet? Ive been doing the same hair care regimen Ive always done. Idk it doesnt look like Im losing hair...yet at least so Imma try not to worry but if it gets back I'll be buying a wig lol

My Hair loss really kicked in at 3 months. It was devastating. I expected it but it was more than I had imagine. I think it's slowing down or maybe I'm just hoping. I'm taking Biotin, multi, all of it. I'm also using henna and auryvedic herbs. Good luck.

Yea I thought I was ok and ready for it too until I saw that travesty in the shower today! and for it to be soo soon... O well i rather lose the hair and the weight instead of nothing at all I have to keep telling myself its only for a few months and then it will grow back.

I'm sorry about your loss, but you are in excellent company! I really started to notice the loss at 2 months. No clumps, but it was thin to begin with. There are 2 freckles showing through the top of my scalp, and I'm rocking a comb-over to hide them. Yikes! On the positive ride, people are too entranced with my cute butt to notice!:-) hee hee!

That seems REALLY early to be experiencing that type of loss. Did you have a very long preop? I had a lot of Hair loss prior to surgery but it was because I ate a ton of crap and hardly any Protein. The loss I'm experiencing now is directly related to the surgery so im praying that with my greatly improved nutrition and high protein intake it will come back.

      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! 😞
