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)

Im 12 months post op and i did not suffer any hair loss.

No not everyone does

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

3 months out today so far no hair loss ..

lol at 4 months out, my hair started breaking off like crazy. my ponytail is so pathetic. ah well! lol

ugh and it had just started growing back in from pregnancy.

Some people don't lose hair.

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 didn't start losing hair until month 6.
