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

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
