How long after surgery did you experience hair loss? What was the worst month?



Recommended Posts

I am 2 months out and am experiencing a great amount of Hair loss. Should I have this much this soon? If so, what will the following months look like. Do I need to research wigs now?

It will last for about 2 to 3 months until you can get the necessary Protein in. But I found that prenatal Vitamins and Biotin are a great help in slowing down and stopping Hair loss. Don't worry it will definitely grow back for me it grew back much thicker than before

I took Biotin from day one. My hair thinned out a bit but only I could notice and it wasn't actually visible. WHen I put it into a ponytail to work out, that is when I can tell--the pony tail is much thinner. But I can also tell I have a lot of regrowth coming in.

I'm worried about this.

This was my number one concern before surgery. My hair is fine and thin and was already thinning on top. I had surgery Sept 16th and my hair started coming out at the two month mark and it's still coming out. When I wash my hair, my hands are covered in hair. It's everywhere in my house.

I'm hoping it starts to slow down soon, otherwise I'm going to have to buy a wig.

I had general anesthetic three times in 8 months. They warned me that I would start losing my hair. I started taking Biotin and Vitamins (at the recommendation of my surgeon, I take Flintstones for Kids!) right away. I am two months out (Oct 28) and my hair is falling out, but very slowly. If you are pre-opband worried about this, you might want to start now.

Ojon revitalizing and thickening Shampoo is amazing! I use to have really thick hair and starting at about 3 months it fell out by the handfuls. It got so thin that you could see scalp. I did some research and so far the best product I've found was this ojon. I got it at Ulta. It's like $25 for the shampoo and another $24 for the conditioner, but we'll worth the money. I wash my hair every two days and it instantly began to feel like my old head of hair again. I love, love, love it!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
