I am currently 9 months post surgery and have lost 228 lbs. I would very much appreciate anyone's information/experiences/advice on hair loss. When does it stop falling out? When does it start coming back? etc. Honestly it's not the skin or related issues that are my biggest challenge, it is my thinning hair. What can I do?

Zinc is really good for hair loss.

Thanks! I just started taking it. I take biotin as well. Not sure if I am taking enough though.

I just said to hell with it and started using Lady Rogaine as a preventative....my hair is looking better than it has since my 20's.

I’ve gone in for 3 vitamin and mineral IV infusions. At 7 months out, I’ve lost 75% of my hair. It isn’t very nice to have such thin hair. I was at my hairdressers today, and she showed me all the new hair, an inch long. That has started to come in. It is just going to take a long time.

so I am going to get extensions for a while. I think it will make me feel better about my looks. I’m so happy to be in normal sizes now, and my hair used to be my best feature. Even my count on the cleavage boobs are gone south. So I do want my hair to look decent these next few months.
