Sending u love. Make sure you’re getting your Protein. I like a product calle jeunora. https://www.jeuneora.co.nz/
My friend who is 12 months post swore by it and it’s helped my hair up until now too (tho I’m recently post).

there really isn't much you can do about the Hair loss other than keep on top of your Protein and Vitamins so that it won't be any worse than it already is. Reviews on things like Biotin are a mixed bag. Like the above poster said, the only thing that will work for most of us is time. The hair WILL grow back.

for most of us, we're the only ones who notice the hair loss. If you're one of the unlucky ones who've lost to the point that others notice, too, a shorter cut or a different style might make it less noticeable.

Mine has just begun to fall out and I am almost 6 months. If I remember correctly after my first surgery it didn't last very long and no terrible effect on my looks.

Like the others have said, there's nothing you can do about it. However, I do think that having long hair makes the Hair loss look worse than it is - maybe you might want to consider a shorter hairstyle (not short, just shorter) while you are in this stage. It doesn't last forever and the only person who will notice is you. My first surgery was 3 years ago and I have very fine hair, but I did go through a couple months of hair loss like yours - no one noticed. I took extra Biotin every day (including a couple months before surgery), used biotin shampoos and conditioners, etc. - I don't know if it helped or not.

Remember - it won't last much longer, and no one will notice except you.

Unfortunately, if you're already experiencing Hair loss there really isn't much you can do at this point. Look up Telogen Effluvium. It can happen after surgery, psychological stress, extreme weight loss, change in diet, hormone changes. Get it? We're inherently at risk for this and if you've already started in with it, no amount of Vitamins or specialty shampoos will stop it.

The good news is, it will pass. It takes a few months, but it will pass.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
