When does the hair loss slow down? I was sleeved on November 6, 2015 and I am 7 months out. My hair is still falling out. I am taking all my vitamins and Biotin and I am getting most of my protein in.

I don't wont to cut it off but looks like I don't have many choices!

It totally freaked me out too - just about lost all my bangs. But don't stress - within a year it stopped an I got it all back.

My one year anniversary was on August 12, 2017 and its so disappointing to see my hair loss. I am taking all my post op Vitamins and Biotin. But I have lost a lot and don't know what I can do to bring it back. So anybody with any suggestions please let me know cuz its devastating

Have you tried prenatal vitamins?

Ugh! I'm dreading it.

I had my question answered already, looks like between 3-6 months I'll start the shedding.

I think prenatal vitamins would be too big for the sleeve. Mine were HUGE!

I am about six years out and I remember losing my hair for the first year. I was extremely lucky as I have really thick hair but it still sucked. The good news is, it GROWS BACK! Hang in there! It is part of the process for most of us.

I'm two months post surgery and I have been able to keep my hair by taking biotin everyday. Or am I incorrect and it just hasn't happened yet?

It just hasn't happened yet.

Biotin will NOT impact hair loss. It's a placebo effect. Bariatric surgery causes Hair loss temporarily. I cringe every day at the amounts I am losing but as a scientist I know the reasons & know it will grow back. However it is not easy to watch it fall. Hang in there everyone & focus On the Lbs falling off for now.
