Recommended Posts

Hello all Readers,

I'm seeking some names of stores in New York (Manhattan) that sell wigs natural looking. I had my surgery on the 22nd Of March 2015 and I know that I'll most probably loose approx 80% of my hair, hence I don't get enough protien in plus my hair is already very very very fine and thin such has see through.

So any help in this area will be highly appreciated.

Have a great evening

Prada.

At about 8 months in, I started losing my hair. I found a few websites that sell nice wigs at decent prices. Check them out:

http://www.hairtobeauty.com

https://www.hairsisters.com

https://www.ebonyline.com

These wigs look good on any ethnicity.

Hope this helps. Send me a message and I'll send you a pic of me wearing a few different wigs.

Hope this helps!

Ugh, I totally feel for you. My hair has been falling out since month two and I am now at month 7. Thank god I had a very thick head of hair to begin with, it is now very very thin and coming out worse than ever.

I have had my Protein, Iron and thyroid checked in the last two weeks and everything is normal. My surgeon told me once the weight loss stabilizes the Hair loss will stop. I have 52 lbs to go. And of course I am now at a 1 to 2 lb loss per week. I have a ways to go.

Anyway, I actually went to a wig specialist that focuses o wigs for cancer patients a couple years ago after having trouble with my thyroid and losing about 1/3 of my hair. The wigs she had were top quality but pretty expensive. I paid almost 700.00 for mine. I did not wear it for long but pulled it out the other day. Not sure if I will wear it but if things keep going the way they are I might have to.

@@Djmohr - I was not happy to read your post....lol! I had very thick hair and it has been falling out like crazy!! The drain is literally FULL every single night. It's naturally curly, so on a daily basis I cannot tell by looking at it, but I can tell when I wash it and also when I just dry it (with no product) and put it in a pony. i was hoping this too would pass quickly, but based on your response it don't sound like i am going to be that lucky!

Yes, the hair thing can be very frightening but don't let it get to you. Mine recently slowed down as did my weight loss. I am just over 1 year post op and it slowed down right around the 12 month mark for me.

The good news is I have been sprouting new hair all along so although I know and my husband knows it is much thinner than it once was, no one else has really noticed. I have been taking Biotin since the beginning and let me tell you it seems to really do a good job on regrowth.

I will say that by the time I stopped losing hair, I had lost about 3/4 of my volume. Thank goodness I started with a very very thick head of hair.

Also, some people only shed for a couple months, maybe you will get lucky.

hair is based on a three month cycle. When you have surgery, the nonessential parts of your body shut down. This includes hair. Around 3 months after surgery, you will see a Hair loss for about a three month span. After that, you will start to develop new hair and as those come in, more may fall out. The best thing to do is to keep Iron and Protein up. Biotin helps some, but it's really only 10% of what makes up the Hair growth. If you're losing hair at a year out, it could be possible that three months ago you may not have been at the right levels and that's what's causing the loss now.

      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...

      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?
