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.

Mine didn't start till month 4-5 and lasted about six months

I'm at 3 months and it's yet to start falling out. I've actually noticed my hair looking thicker and fuller (I have hashimotos and I previously experienced the thinning.). I'm hoping that my increased Vitamins, Protein and Biotin help)

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.

How much Biotin did you take? I take a daily multi, Vitamin D, and Biotin - I've been taking 10mcg of Biotin but not sure if that is enough! I have PCOS so already have noticeably thinning hair. :(

I didn't start losing until I was around 5 months post. Then it started falling out by handfuls! I am a little over a year and now am going through regrowth. Lucky for me I had really thick hair so no one noticed except me and my hair stylist! Just keep up on those Vitamins

Update: I started losing hair about five months out. Now I'm 8 months out and I can tell it's slowing down. Thankfully it's only noticeable if you're in my bathroom when I'm brushing or blow drying it and it's all over the sink. I think I was getting a little lax with keeping my Protein intake high enough. I've been paying better attention to that, mostly because I notice that my large muscles and leg joints get sore when I don't get enough. Just thought I'd drop in and let you guys know!

Mine started falling out like a week after surgery. I'll wash my hair and get chunks of hair in my hands, like when I was pregnant. I take 10,000 of Biotin daily but doesn't help. I may just use rogaine, no lie. It's thinning and I have a light scalp so you can tell.

      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! 😞
