Yes I had this between months two and six. It's stopping now. N

No hair loss yet, but then I cut off all my hair in anticipation of losing it during weight loss! :lol:

Yes, most of us have experienced this. It usually starts around 2-3 months post-op and lasts for about 6 months. For me, it started at around 2 months post-op and lasted for about 4-5 months. I lost so much hair that I feared I would go bald. Then suddenly, it stopped. Just like that. I didn't go bald. Fortunately for me, I have very thick hair so even with losing as much as I did, it wasn't noticeable to anyone else. I ended up changing hairstyles once it started to come back in because my hair was almost all one length so the new growth was quite noticeable. I switched to a style with some layers in it and it's not even noticeable now. I did try taking biotin but I honestly can't say that it really helped.
