Hey all!

A little about me, I started out at 325lbs. I'm currently 3 months post op gastric Bypass surgery! I'm down 70lbs weighing in at 255lbs! I feel amazing, I'm loving the process, BUT I can't deal with this hair loss! It's making me depressed! I used to have this beautiful long black hair and now it's short and dried out and falling out by the pounds

Someone please tell me this gets better!!!

Anyone have any solutions to this problem? I take my Vitamins every single day and doing great with my Water intake and protein! Any suggestions?!

Thank you in advance!

I'm 5 months out from my bypass... I started losing hair at the 3 month mark. I'm happy to say my hair loss has slowed down considerably. My weight loss has also slowed down to 2 to 2 1/2 lb a week. I think when our weight loss slows down so does the hair loss.

B12 and Biotin sweety. And keep your hair deep conditioned.

secretly????sleeving

I use rogaine. It worked when I had the band years ago...hair started to regrow...so this time I started it preventatively

I don't know that there's much you can do. But it *will* stop eventually

You lose hair when your body is under stress. Losing this much weight this quickly will result in hair loss. It will stop as your weight loss slows and eventually you get to maintainance

Does it matter how short your hair is?... I have shaved sides ( 1/2 of a num 1) and a slightly longer top.

most people don't lose enough for anyone else to notice, and some people don't lose any at all (I didn't lose any). Plus, it grows back.

I had the same problem it was tons of hair coming down, but i was aware that was going to happend. I have considerable less hair now but it stop falling now it fall the normal amount. Stress make it fell.

About 5 to 6 month post op it will stop. Mine stop as soon as my weight was stable. From 220sw to cw 155.

Hope you the best and dont be depress it will get better it shocking but it will be ok!
