It's been 4 months since my surgery. I'm down 77.2 pounds. So far so good, haven't gotten sick or anything. Had a stall right after my 3 month appt. my struggle is the hair loss. I feel at the rate it's coming out I could go bald. Is that possible? I know you can't stop it but I'm concerned for sure.

Wooooow that's awesome!!!!!

It wouldn't be bald per say because women never lose the hairline like me. But yes it could get very thin. That being said, everything I have read regarding it is the hair comes back after while. My wife suffers from 2 different autoimmune diseases and her hair is getting to the point she needs a wig, so I hear ya. Keep up a positive attitude!

Thanks. I had thick hair so that's saving me for now lol

Are you taking Biotin?

Are you taking Biotin?

Yes but my doctor said nothing helps. It is what it is. I know there are lots of things people say help but...

Congratulations on the weight loss, pretty awesome.
Sorry about the hair loss issue, hope it gets better.

I like the fact you took the picture in the same clothing and same pose. That was extremely smart. That shows true weight loss.

Thank you! It just made sense to me. [emoji171]

It will be fine rapid weight loss has some potential consequences such as hair loss. I haven't experienced this yet.

You are doing great. I'm at 6 months out and I've lost a total of 128lbs. Yes, my hair is thinning but Idk if it's because of the surgery because I was a cancer patient so it could still be from that but hey, there's some beautiful wigs out here and I like to change my hairstyle a lot so I don't care about the hair. 1 thing for sure, you don't have to be bald if you don't wanna be bald this is my before and my 6 month which was 4/ of April 2017
