why there is too much hair fall after bariatric surgery ... n what is the main cause behind this ? what remedies shall we take to stop hairfalling n regrowth

They say it's reaction to quick weight loss and lack of nutrition. I take biotin to try to help. I haven't had much but I am just shy of two months out. Doc says 3 months is when it hits. I cut off my long hair so hopefully it won't be noticeable.

Im so worried about the hair loss ughhh!!;(((

Hair loss isn't just caused by wls, it can actually be anything traumatic that has happened to your body. Such as, a car accident or child birth. I was researching this earlier and came across a members post from 2010. She said she didn't suffer from hair loss...she took 10,000mcg of biotin a day and also used a product called kitoko oil and kept up with her protein. She also said she colors her hair so it was chemically damaged and still didn't lose any. I hope this helps

This is one of my BIGGEST concerns. I'm anal about my hair lol.

Thanks glitterpockes I already take biotin since stress was causing hair loss is better now..I am hoping there is no hair loss.....thanks for the info..

I was told Biotin only helps with regrowth, having said that I take it. 3-6 months is supposedly the hair falling out main time and I just completed month 6 and yes, my hair started falling out right at about 3 months. At 6 months its still falling steadily. I think its really bad some days and others not as bad. Having said all that, I'm lucky I have thick hair. Good luck to those of you with thin hair. If I went bald this surgery would still be worth it. I'd get a haircut, hair piece or wig if I needed it. Good luck to all of you. My hair means a lot to me too and I was scared too. Now that I'm in the middle of it. ..I just can't wait for it to stop. Oh I get my protein in everyday but could do better on vitamins. Hope this helps and doesn't discourage anyone:-)

I get it every time I undergo general anesthesia--gall bladder, kidney stone removal, wrist surgery, WLS...waiting for it now post plastics. Usually hits me four months post op. They say it's all the hair that's in the telophase stage of growth dies and it takes that long for it to fall out. I'm sure it can be complicated by nutritional issues. I took tons of biotin and didn't seem to help me out any sadly.

I am 4 months out and have been shedding like crazy!! Seriously, hand fulls of my hair fall out!! Thankfully I have extra thick hair but it is getting thinner! I have started taking Biotin to help with the re-growth rate. Like others have said...the weight loss is worth it. 58 pounds in 4 months is worth it to me and I'm just dealing with the temporary hair loss.

Omg I am so scared my hair is thick but still I had some hair loss couple months ago now it finally stopped.but I think is related to stress and my diabetes

I am about 4 1/2 months out and I am also losing a lot of hair. It has also gone from being thick to really thin. I also started taking Biotin and have not seen much of a change. I almost hate to wash my hair more than 3 times a week because when I do it comes out in clumps. Hopefully in time it gets better.

Omg hope it stops soon. To tell you the truth thats the only things that I am worried about hair loss I love my curly thick hair.

I had sleeve surgery in October 2014 and I started losing my hair in February. Hair loss continued through May. My hairdresser suggested using Rogaine, the hair mousse. I've ALWAYS had thin hair my whole life. I've actually got thick hair now, thicker than ever. I highly recommend using Rogaine. I'm still using it! Get the generic if you can - much cheaper and it's the same product.

It's temporary. It'll grow back. You'll probably the only person who even notices it's a little thinner.

Jeez!
