I'm 5 months out loosing hair like crazy I'm 20 years old and had the sleeve. What can I do . I don't want to be bald.

I'm almost 4 months out and my hair is falling out like crazy. I don't have any suggestions but I recently ordered the Nioxin shampoo, as I've heard good things about it: http://www.amazon.com/Nioxin-System-Cleanser-Therapy-Thinning/dp/B000TMM2PU/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1404243163&sr=1-1&keywords=nioxin

I'm 5 months out loosing hair like crazy I'm 20 years old and had the sleeve. What can I do . I don't want to be bald.

I am 1 year out from sleeve on July 11th. My hair fell out a lot. It started around 5 months to 8 months. I swear it stops and comes back 10 fold! Don't sweat it just be kind to your hair. Try to let it air dry. Get a brush that is old fashioned. The bristles are soft. Less pulling on the hair. I tried to wash it only 2 times a week.

Take Biotin, I've heard it helps. I've only been taking it for about 2 wks, so it will be a while before I notice a difference. I'm 5 months out and losing A LOT of hair, I try not to wash it often and brush it as little as possible. No chemicals either

Biotin only helps with new growth... it doesnt stop the hair loss...

Are you getting enough Protein in like 80gm? I knw when i was about 4mons out, i started with the hair loss, but i upped my protein intake, and it started to slow up about 5 1/2 months out... now a month later its still coming out but its just a few strans at a time in stead of clumps... But you have to make sure you protein levels are up... Check with your nut & doc... it happens to most of us...

Can I take protein bars instead of drinks?

I take Biotin a high dosage 7500 and also MSM pills...i was banded in 2005 and sleeved 2014 no hair loss or thinning...yu can google msm pills and read abt the good things they are used for...hair thinning is one!! I would also suggest a shampoo with protein and making sure you get over 60 grams of protein a day with food, shakes, bars, pudding or whatever you can take to get over 60 grams

I will be sleeved in October. I am so glad people know to expect hair loss with the extreme weightloss. Back in the 80's I was a hairstylist. One of my clients had WLS and was sure it was my fault her hair started falling out. I gave her free treatments for a year. LOL I had no idea extreme weight loss could be a cause of hair loss.
