I am 4 months post op and I am losing my hair. I had such thick hair to begin with and now it is getting so thin especially in front [emoji53]

Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?

Hi, yes I went through this. It is normal, mine lasted about 6 months. Not fun when you're going through it, but it will stop. Hang in there! Good Luck!

I didn't lose any hair, but most people do. It'll stop and then grow back in.

I haven't reached that stage yet, but my Dr told me it is inevitable. He suggested I buy Rogaine for men not the one for women. He said it helps a lot with the hair loss.

Zinc supplementation can help with hair regrowth.

I have locs and my new growth of hair is has thinned out.My hair is definitely not growing as quickly as it once did. I had my surgery 6 months ago.

Hair loss is normal. Any time your body goes through trauma, your hair will fall out. This is a wee bit different. You have got to stay on your vitamins and make sure you get 60gm of protein a day (that was my instruction). I was given a name of a specific vitamin that CVS didn't carry. We were told probably GNC or Amazon would be the only place to get it. Actually 3-collagen with hyaluronic acid for hair, skin & nails and it is at GNC. chondroitin and glucosamine for bones & joints, especially if you are post menopausal.

I don't think I'm at that stage yet where I'm suppose to lose my hair. However, I take 4 biotin pills daily. 40,000mg. I would be devastated if I start losing my hair. I hope it doesn't happen to me

I lost a lot of hair, you could really see my scalp in some places. I like to think I was able to make it look better with bangs and styling it differently (down instead of up).

It just started growing back. I'm 6 months post RNY and started taking biotin about a month ago.

I could feel the hair growing back before I could really see it. It felt like my hair was really dirty at the roots when I ran my hands through it, then I realized it was a bunch of tiny hairs that was causing the strange feeling.

Get hair Skin and nails vitamins,My hair has never been this long and thick,This stuff works !

I am 4 months post op too and my hair has thinned out so badly that I am worried to put my hands through it in case it takes out chunks with it! [emoji4]

It will grow back when yr weight loss slows
