Hair loss - when does it stop?!!!!!

I’m 5 months post op SIPS (modified DS) and 110 lbs down. I’m loving my tool, but hair loss has become a reality this month...no one else sees it yet, but I sure do. My hairline is getting very thin at the sides! I know it comes back but when? How long does it keep falling out? I take Biosil...anything else I can do?

    I am guessing your intention was to be funny, but I’m honestly not terribly amused...this feels very insensitive to someone reaching out about something that feels very traumatic.

Mine started at around 3 months and stopped around 6 or 7 months. I had hair to my butt and needed 4 elastics to hold it in a ponytail. I now need 1 elastic and can wrap it 3 times. I get about 90 g of protsim a day amd always take my vitamim and biotin. Nothing helped. My surgeon said its just a natural process and will grow back. Now 11 momths out it is growing back, ive cut it halfway up my back so it doesnt look so long and thin. I also didnt dye it that whilevtime because i was worried it would harm it more. It will grow back eventually. Hang in there!!

When I saw my surgeon last week, he asked me "any questions?" So I said, "when does the hair loss stop?" His response: "when your weight loss stabilizes." To which I responded, "Sh%#!" And then he said, "Only you notice it." I hope that's true! Oh well, guess I'll just deal with it...certainly not ready to stop losing yet.
