I'm 6 months out and having the same problem. I take my Vitamins and Biotin. I heard it can last 3-6 months. It sucks for sure I wish mine would stop also.

I hear ya ... I'm not too happy. I knew it was going to happen but didn't realize how bad it could get.

Oh my! 2.5 months out and today in the shower I got the most ever. Then drying my hair and of course just when I run through my hair with my hands!! I use Shampoo and conditioner that's supposed to help but it does not.

I use Biotin, take my Vitamins, and get at least 65+ G Protein daily. This is gonna suck!

I am about 14 weeeks out and started Hair loss at 12 weeks. I was sleeved almost six years ago and that's exactly when it started then too but only lasted about a month then stopped.

generally Hair loss happens if you are not getting enough Protein. Everyone I know swears by the biotin... but just remember you are not going to absorb the full dose. I am little over 2 months since my surgery and my hair is not falling out. There are so many different factors that go into the hair loss aspect. But hair is not a big deal to me. if i go bald they make really cute wigs. NOT having to shop at lane byrant is so worth having to snake my drains.

Mine didn't start right away. Maybe took 2-3 months before it started falling out. Hair loss is common after any surgery anyways but this is excessive and I thought it was supposed to stop around 6 months and it's 7 and still coming out.
The Biotin will work for growing new hair but idk what to do about keeping it from falling out. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I am 6 1/2 months post op.. hair it is falling, even talking Biotin and protein..

Is not much, or noticeable since I have lots of hair, but shower does not lie...

I have to do a bit of clean up every time ... I thin should stop by 8th month or year, once you have more nutrients intake..

I hope your Hair loss is not dramatic.. best of luck

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
