I did tons of research on telogen effluvium and hairloss regrowth and this one was promising , im not out of the woods yet but im hopeful that this is helping minimize loss (and prayer) so i tell everyone i can.

I started shedding more than normal a couple of weeks ago, at 3 months post op. I take a good Multivitamin, Biotin and adequate Protein, but still started losing my hair unfortunately.

This might be off but I have not had my surgery yet but I have crohns and with this we go through periods of Hair loss as well. It happens with flares I started to take a thyroid supplement postassium iodian and it stopped within a month. I also use monta now and have tons of new growth. Monta is a Shampoo just cost a arm and a leg. I have not had new growth since I was 20 years old. I do not sell monta shampoo I buy from a friend of mine. I been amazed on my body and growth and the fact my hair dose not fall out. I am going to go back on the potassium iodine after surgery to help thyroid support. (I stopped taking it when my hair stopped falling out). With IBD it falls out with flares.

I have hypothyroidism and take Synthroid daily. Sometimes with thyroid disease, you suffer from Hair loss. I've been blessed.

I'm coming up on 6 months out and haven't had any Hair loss. My nutritionist felt like I probably wouldn't because I hit all of the goals (fluid, Protein, taking vitamins) the whole time so far without missing anything more than a couple Calcium pills. Hair growth is normal, the only issue I did have was cracking nails so I took Biotin (starting a month ago) and that helped with the nails. Hopefully the good luck continues!

I had my surgery May 8th. I have not had issues with Hair loss. (Knock on wood) I get between 60 & 75 grams of Protein with my Protein Shakes.

I (like lots of others) thought the Hair loss was something that happened right after surgery. Breathed a sigh of relief that I'd dodged it after 3 months and no loss. Within the last few weeks though, my hair has started to come out. Whahah. :) It isn't awful though and I don't expect to be bald or anything. No one else even notices- it's all between me and the bathroom sink. Well. All of you now too. I've seen Biotin and l-lysine mentioned here, but I also remember my nutritionist mentioning eating zinc rich foods as well to help.

I lost a lot of hair, but since I have seriously thick hair I didn’t worry. It is growing back in now.
A friend of mine was not so lucky but hers is growing back nicely too

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
