I'm a little over four months out and my hair is falling out so fast. My hair is thin to begin with and starting to feel scared. Well I used everything I've read to use but nothing is working. Just wondering how long does this last and how long before it grows back?

What all have you used? I am 12 days post op and losing my hair is my biggest fear. I started bariatric vitamins, prescription, a month ago. Nasal spray b12 and chewable multi vitamin and chewable calcium, 1800 mg, a day. I hope that will keep me from losing hair. You may check out the vitamins. Google nascobal b12 nasal spray. It costs me $25 a month. I was taught also to take 600 mg (I think mg, I would have to check out my bottle) of calcium at a time. Also how much protein a day are you getting in? It is imperative that you get that protein in for hair growth.

Get all my victims in and calcium daily. I also use biotin shampoo and conditioner plus take biotin pills. I also get a b12 shot monthly. My protein and fluid intake is good. I still drank protein shakes to help me get all the protein in daily. I also juice to get my veggies in daily. Just need to deal with the hair loss:(

There doesn't seem to be any magical solution that I can see. Some get it, some don't. There are posters who aim for 100 gms of protein and swear that helps. Others take hair vitamins that contain biotin and collagen, and swear by that. My NP says it just active weight loss. All the protein you take in is being redirected to your body as you lose weight. Hence the hair and nails suffer. Cutting hair short and lessening how much you manipulate you hair may help. For example if you are a daily washer can you wash every other day. If it is really concerning you can consult a dermatologist to see if they have any recommendations.

. I can give you my experience. Hair started to fall out at three months and kept going until eight months and now I finally have a little growth coming at nine months.

Oh my! My hair was thin before surgery. Hope I don't loss much more hair.

Sound like you have all your bases covered, the bases I know of at least. I do read it always grows back, so be sure you tell me the same thing if it happens to me

Good luck with everything!!
