I had surgery on 8/25 and now 3 months later, my hair is falling out like I'm on chemo....ltons of long strands from the root are falling out daily. The doctor told me yesterday that no Biotin or Vitamins are going to help. She said it is going to get very very thin and suggested I cut my hair! I cried. I have long, thick hair, and am praying that I don't go bald. I just ordered the Keranique serum, and am hoping it helps. Any suggestions would be welcome......

if you're going to lose it, you're going to lose it - there's really nothing that will stop it. But keeping on top of your Protein and Vitamins will probably keep it from getting any worse than it is. The good news is, it's temporary. It'll all grow back. And with most people, you're the only one who will notice it.

Lady Rogaine. I'm using it as a precaution cause I know mine's gonna thin horribly. Has after surgeries in the past. Does grow back, though. Also...Paul Mitchell anti-thinning Shampoo helps.

I'm 6 months out and have a lot of long thick hair- it's now falling out in handfuls but I'm told if I use Biotin and make sure I'm getting enough Protein it will stop. Also I was told today that I should mix my Shampoo with apple cider vinegar so I'm going to give it a shot

I'm so sorry about your hair. Hopefully you'll be the only one to notice. And if anyone else does notice, screw 'me, it's not their concern.

My nutritionist told me to stay up with the Protein to help prevent Hair loss. I'm taking Biotin too, though, and I've been using good Shampoo and conditioner (I prefer Aveda) to help keep what hair I do have in good shape. Oh, and I'm crossing my fingers. That might help most of all.

Thank you everyone. I will keep everyone posted as I go thru the Journey and will post if the Keranique works. I have been taking mega Vitamins and Biotin since long before surgery and it is not helping. Also, this isnt my first surgery. I never had this type of Hair loss with my other surgeries . My husband has not noticed and is a gem - he has male patterned baldness and said we can get matching hats. hahahaha Love him

      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
