Mine was about 3 months of falling out and it slowed down around 4 months. This too shall pass :) I am just jealous of those that didn't lose any!!!

Post the 3rd month hair is everywhere ???? ..... Hoping it slows down soon enough... I m taking 10,000 mcg biotion hope that helps in some way or another. Just hoping it comes back... If it gets real worse, I m considering shaving my head????????

Started at about 4 months, but I didn't really notice, (I have a lot per square inch but it's kind of fine). When I noticed was at about 1 year when I noticed it coming back in and all the pieces started sticking up and falling out of the ponytail. I took Biotin from the first few months before surgery and still take it 2x per day. I don't think it helps you keep from losing hair, but it does seem to make a difference in hair\nail regrowth speed and strength. This too, shall pass.

My Hair loss is extreme. You can see my scalp and it looks horrible. I take Biotin, hair supplement and get all my Protein in. I am considering getting a wig.....it is that bad.

I've been losing my hair for 2 1/2 months now. To be honest, I dreaded taking a shower or brushing my hair at first because it was coming out in clumps. I would just get sick at my stomach seeing how much I was losing. Although I'm still losing, I've accepted it now and I'm not letting it bother me. I think it's slowing down or I have just gotten to where there's not much more to lose. I have had very long, thick hair my whole life so it's just getting used to the change. If I lose much more I will probably cut my hair short.

To be clear though, losing the hair is so insignificant compared to the almost endless positives I've had from the weight loss. The self confidence I've gained is worth all my hair 10 times over...

I started losing my hair months ago and I'm pre-op. ???????????????? Not sure what's causing the Hair loss.

I started using Nioxin about a month ago and I see an increase in Hair growth and less hair loss. ????

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
