Hello, I am 8 months post op and at around 3 months post op I started losing my hair for about 2 months. It finally started growing back but now at 8 months I am losing my hair again!!! Is there something I can do? I am already taking pills and using shampoo to help. I didn't think it was gonna happen again [emoji17]

Has your diet changed recently? Any other changes in your life - stress?

I wish I had an answer for you.

No changes in diet that I know of, always stress. Gotta see a back surgeon for a herniated disc. So I've been in alot of pain.

I'm obviously not an expert, but it sounds reasonable to me that being in pain from a back injury could be putting stress on your body, which in turn lead to hair loss.

A herniated disc is a miserable injury and very painful, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Are you taking bariactric vitamins, the kind that has everything in it? I was told to take that plus calcium chewies.
