I haven't lost any hair. Weird?

[Lutasha 102]

I'm glad I haven't lost any hair...but is the risk of losing hair over yet? I'm three months out from RNY.

I think it varies from person to person. Mine didn't start until about month six. It just recently stopped and I am 16 months post op.

Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones.

I will say losing the hair was so worth the weight loss and a new lease on life!!

Mine didn't start until closer to 4 months out. Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones but no you aren't too far out to worry about it. Sorry.

I never lost any hair. I'll be2 years out next month. I have really thick hair so maybe I didn't notice but it has continued to grow like usual. I think we may be the exception.

My hair is so thick! I've been purposely not having my stylist thin it out but I'm losing patience. I don't want to have her thin it out AND THEN lose a bunch more. I'll wait a couple more months just to be sure.

Mine has just started to fall out and I am 5 months out. So far it's not too bad.

Do you keep it short? Have you had to cut any special way? I lost a bunch of hair after all of my pregnancies, but my hair was much short then.

[lizcan 77]

I have kept it long. The thing that is worse than it falling out is that it is dried out and looks frizzy. I just get the ends trimmed but I am like you and have very thick hair si it is not too noticeable yet...

I'm closing in on three months and haven't lost any yet. Hope the trend continues.

I'm nine months post-op, and I never lost hair either. I took crazy amounts of Biotin starting right after surgery, so my hair actually became thicker rather than thinner. I was extremely anxious about Hair loss, and it turns out to have been a non-issue for me.

from what I've heard/read, it usually starts falling out at 3 or 4 months out, but it can start as late as six months. I'm quickly approaching five months (with no loss so far) and am cautiously optimistic, but I won't rest easy until I hit the six-month mark.

I started losing about 4 months. My hair has thinned drastically. I can see, but I don't know that anyone else notices it. I cut it way shorter. I'm taking a lot of Biotin and making sure my Protein intake is high to help prevent it from thinning further. It is growing like crazy, but still losing at 6 months. It has slowed quite a bit.

Mine started at month 6 but was done by month 9. Wasn't noticeable to anyone but me.

[red37 116]

I started at month 4, now almost at month 6 and still losing hair like crazy. It sucks!

[mmwishart 41]

My hair started falling out at about 3 1/2 months, which was about 3 weeks ago. It's thinned so much! If it goes on much longer, I won't have any hair left!
