Hair loss?

Hey all,

I was sleeved in February and am now experiencing serious hair loss. Is anyone else having this problem? I knew it was likely to occur but its still devastating to see. I am getting around 60 grams of Protein a day and taking my supplements as I should...

Sorry to hear. I am scared of this, too. My surgery is June 24th. I once saw on here about "Topping" hair loss cover up. Check it out! It might help you hide it better until you get regrowth. They also have a brush for detangling without pulling or ripping hair out while wet. It is called the "wet hair" brush. Get it on Amazon or at Ulta. Hope this helps!

Yes! My doctor warned me it would happen around 3 months. Sure enough, it started right on cue! I'm am nearly 5 months out now and it has slowed down drastically. It was never enough to be noticeable, thankfully. Taking Biotin supplements helps to. Good luck!

I'm just past 5 weeks out and I've noticed that my hair and nails are growing much slower than usual. I started taking the biotin too!

I was so hoping to be one of the lucky ones without hair loss but It started about 3 mos. post op and has been falling out for a month now. The only thing saving me from complete embarrassment is that it is summer and the humidity gives my hair body and waves. Please be finished falling out by the end of summer!

Mine started about 3 months. I got my hair cut short and that helped. My doctor told me it would occur but that it would not be permanent. I'm 6 months out and it is much better. Biotin did not help me.
