Right there with you. It's part of the process. It will stop. It sucks though.

Very, very temporary. Just remember a few months of hair loss is just a tiny part of the rest of your life.

Keep up with your Protein and Vitamins and might look into taking Biotin (if your current Vitamin doesn't contain it) to help with the Hair loss.< /p>

I already have a bald spot on top of my head before surgery. I'm looking into wigs when my hair loss starts. Wigs could be fun! Different colors and styles depending on your mood!

Stressing about it will only increase what you lose. The body is stressed out and the hair is going to fall. Biotin 10,000 mcg a day. I bought http://www.puritan.com/puritans-pride-brand-0102/healthy-hair-formula-with-biotin-10000-mcg-050951?scid=34618 and it is super low priced and quality stuff.

One of the seminars I went to the speaker said she was so difficient that she had a iron/protein drip after she had a blood test and it was determined that she was not getting enough Protein ....see your doctor have them do a blood test get a drip ...you are deficient.

It's part of the process for many of us unfortunately.

The best thing you can do is focus on getting in all of your Protein and Water and taking all of your Vitamins and supplements.

You could also talk to your hairdresser about a new cut or style to help you through this time.

I just chopped my hair again (layered it) to offset the thinning. It seems to have slowed (7months post) in the last month (so has the weight loss, unfortunately). I was losing 10-12 a month now its MAYBE half of that :( but that's okay - I am still "working it".

YLLUZ it's happening to me too....I was sleeved the same day as you and it started coming out in October. It's totally thinned in the front...I'm trying to get all my Protein in and ride it out! Hopefully it stops soon. I feel your pain!

There is hope! I already had fine, thin hair and lost a ton. I'm 13+ months out and all my new growth is about 4 inches long. It looked hilarious so my sister blended it all in. I am keeping it short until my new growth catches up.

I haven't had surgery yet, but when I first started rapidly gaining weight a few years back I had some rough hair loss. I had great success tackling it with this product, phytocane, that they sell at sephora. Plus it smells great. After one cycle of use my hair stylist and I started to see all the baby hairs popping up and filling in.

I did two full cycles and one maintenance cycle. You rub it onto your scalp after showering and before styling.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
