? When hair grow back if loss



Recommended Posts

Hi I asked about Hair loss before. I know it is common with many & almost 5 months out so think hair loss is starting to slow down a little but 4th month out seemed like a lot. I am taking Biotin now. I just wanted to ask anyone that experienced hair loss, how long til you felt like your hair was close to what it was before? Thanks. I still would do it all over again with hair loss, was worth it. It is just my husband left 4 days after surgery & although feel great with loss , hair loss does effect things to for me too. Thanks again.

I lost about 50% of my hair. It started around month 3 and stopped around month 7. I'm now 11 months post op and it is growing back. Half of my hair is currently 1 inch long, the rest is to my shoulders. Luckily I have curly hair so it blends in pretty well. I expect my hair to be back to normal in about a year.

Thanks cdeisroth. I am almost at 5 months & it seems like it is slowing down now. I started losing mine heavy 3-4 months, in last week or 2 started slowing. Good to hear yours is growing back. My hair is shoulder length & wavy/curly also. So hopefully it will grow back like yours. Thank you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
