    I was thinking it was going to stop around 6 months but it hasn't slowed at all. I had very thick hair but it's down to half and I'm afraid of it doesn't stop I'll be bald!!!

I had RNY gastric bypass surgery and I transitioned from the weight loss phase to the maintenance phase at around 7 months post-op. Generally your hair loss should slow down as you enter maintenance and they you will start to regrow your hair.

Almost everyone loses hair during the first year. Typically from months 3-9, and it starts regrowing at about your one year surgiversary.

I'm 6 months out, and started losing during the preop diet, and it hasn't slowed at all. Can we say SUPER thin? I only have about half my hair left. Fortunately it's curly, so the body tends to hide the thin-ness. Haven't had trouble meeting my protein goals, and take vitamins, so it's just one of those things...

Fingers crossed it'll start coming back in next spring...
