Should I cut my hair? (Hair Loss)



Recommended Posts

Sadly. I lost so slowly but still lost probably 75% of my hair. I never lost 2 digits lbs in one month ever. By 6 months out it was pretty obvious. By 7 months, I started going in weekly for Vitamin if infusions. My hair was straggly and chemo-like.

‘SO HERE IS WHAT I DID. I GOT EXTENSIONS! I still have them one year out. My hair is long and great but it ain’t mine. Lol. Enjoying them. At this point, 13 mos out, my own hair has all grown back but is about 1-w inches long. Fluffy and yuck, but I still have the extensions and I will keep them for the next 6 months until my hair grows to a decent length.

And since my natural hair style is pixi shag to mullet maybe we can hide the loss as it comes.

I razor-cut 12 inches of my hair off, into a mid-length bob. It looks awesome and any thinning around my temples is mostly masked. And as a bizarre side benefit, people seem to know SOMETHING is different about me but wouldn't likely mention weight loss, so they're all being insanely complimentary about the haircut.

I have long hair as you might have seen in my previously posted pics. I love it and don't want to cut it but the Hair loss is so annoying!

Filling my brush and everytime I run my fingers through I come out with more strands :(

I was told eating 60-70 grams of Protein would prevent Hair loss. I was getting that much but fell off the shakes and bars and now my hair is falling out. Just strands not in bulk. My hair is thick so I guess I can afford some. But I’ve been trying to get more protein in every day. I guess it will take more time

I have eaten that much protein since almost Day1. Mine is still falling out by the brush full. :(

Just watched a video on Youtube by someone who had thinning hair and she uses a product called Toppik.

You can watch the whole thing but its interesting and relevant from about 4 minutes in.

Heres the video, very inspiring -

Googled it and I bought a 27.5g for £3.98 delivered. I am sure people from other countries will be able to find one on their own Ebay sites or maybe Amazon?

I was told by my surgeon and nutritionist that it is going to happen regardless of what you do. It is just part of wls. I was also told that it will stop eventually around 6-9 months. of course if you do not follow the program and get your daily protein goals in i imagine the loss is much worse.

as for me I cut mine off yesterday. The stylist put a lot of messy layers in to hide the thinning.

Yes, but I couldn't quite figure out what you were talking about. Where do you get albuterol vials?

I have a nebulizer so I have plenty, how you would get them without a prescription I'm not sure?

Do you know where I can read more about this? How did you discover this? I can't find anything anywhere.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
