How long does hair loss last



Recommended Posts

I am glad you reminded me to take my Biotin today . I have not taken it since Thursday.. the day I was sleeved. Thank you! Also, if you don't mind my asking what part of FLA are you in? I am in Polk County.

This topic is very interesting to me because I started experiencing Hair loss in October - big time! Went to my Nurse Practitioner yesterday for usual check and she said I should not be experiencing hair loss because it only happens when you've had significant weight loss like over 70 lbs. She said it's probably my thyroid. I've lost 40 since surgery in June. She did blood work to test my thyroid and it looks okay to me!

My TSH 2.330 u[IU]/mL Normal is 0.270 - 4.200 u[IU]/mL

Another mystery to solve

Started really losing a lot of hair at three months and it seems like it lasted until about six months.

Thank you. How many and what dosage should I take.

I did a ton of research on Telogen Effluvium and LLysine came up as a treatment options in a study conducted a while back. I took the recommended dosage 1000mg per day. Some days only 500mg (big pills/ must take on empty stomach)

Genetics and underlining issues will affect hairloss also, but I think this really made the difference for me (and prayer)

As vain as it sounds, the only thing I worried about consistently pre and post op was my hair. I was dead set on not losing it.

Google it and see if it makes sense to you to add into your Vitamin routine.

I wish I had answers but no, nothing. I started losing my hair around the 4 month mark and it continued through about the 6 month mark. I've taken Biotin since before my sleeve and have lost 40 lbs since April 2018. My Hair loss is just now starting to slow down and all the new growth is popping through. New growth feels spongy...haha and sticks straight up.

I started losing my hair at approx 4 months out. I’m now 6 months out and it seems to be slowing down a little bit but still falling. I went with a chin length straight bob a few weeks ago and decided to ride it out like I own it.
Biotin has been on my daily menu for years but it doesn’t overcome what the body wants to do in the grand scheme. Keep taking it because you want the new hair to grow in beautiful, though.
You can private message me for a great hair, skin and nails formula.

      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!!
