When did you start losing hair?

I'm only a week out from my surgery and obviously haven't seen any signs of hair loss, but it's something I'm not looking forward to :( when did you start noticing your hair loss?

    Google Telogen Effluvium and WLS for some common stories, info etc. Its going to vary widely but usually not immediately after surgery, it takes a few weeks to months to manifest, if its going to

Dang, finally something is going to turn my way I do use a nebulizer, and do pretty often. Hurray for ME!
I’m finding that it started about 3.5 months after surgery. I was sleeved on April 18, 2018, luckily I have thick hair but it is disturbing to me.

One dose in the bottle or with each glob of shampoo you put in your hair

I also think it falls into our genetic make up.

I was losing significant hair up until I started my Biotin regimen, it came from a combination of my thyroids and uterine fibroids then add the wrong nutrition value and you're a recipe for disaster.

Fibroids can cause hair loss??????!!!!

Yes. They can be a contributing factor to hair loss

at about 4mos post op. It sucks, but it stops eventually.

How long before it stops?

Mine really seemed to be between m4 and m5. I did chop it all short though, so maybe it's still tailing off.

Mine started about three months after. I worried so much especially when it was falling out. Don’t stress, it will fall out and thin but then starts to shoot right back. Take your vitamins, eat protein, don’t brush your hair when it’s wet and take liquid silica and liquid biotin starting now and just keep taking it even when your hair stops falling out. Don’t worry ❤️

Collagen is a good supplement, too. I’m trying to head off the hair loss possibility by taking 10,000 of biotin, and using a collagen protein powder! I’ll be sure to continue taking after I’ve had my surgery, plus maxing out on as much protein as I can. I hope not to lose any hair, but just in case I’m being proactive. I’m using Dose & Co vanilla collagen protein powder, ... but there are others out there. It can’t hurt.
I have started hair loss at the three month mark . I have a ton of hair so it doesn’t bother me except for the fact I have to clean the shower drain daily lol

It really depends on generics. Nothing else. My sister did not lose any hair. Her friend who went the same day as her, is now rocking a buzz cut.
2.5 months post op. Still thinning at 6 months post op. I started really thick. Using biotin supplements and mane n tail shampoo and conditioner now. Some weeks better than others. It depends on the vitamins and if I missed any.
