Hi all,
i’m nearly 4 month out from RNY bypass i’m taking my vitamins and extra hair, skin and nails supplements, i’m also reaching my protein goal each day but my hair has been falling out really badly. Does anybody have any advice ? treatments to use ?
thanks xx

nothing will work at this point other than time. Fortunately, it's temporary and it'll grow back. Mine lasted for about three months. Fortunately, I didn't lose much - certainly not enough for anyone (except for me) to notice.

thank you for the reply, think i will be investing in a wig at this rate lol.

hopefully not - most people don't make it to that point, fortunately!

go to the trichologist. or to an endocrinologist, unexpected hair loss is a cry for help from your body. there may be thyroid problems or anemia. also hormonal problems ..
in short a lot of things
so visit the doctor

you can take biotin supplements in parallel, for example, and use hair products with biotin curtin, etc., but I'm not sure if they will help without treatment
maybe the doctor will tell you to take a closer look at the multivitamin complex for hair (where there is iron, B vitamins, collagen, keratin)

Clip in extensions will make your hair more full. Plus you can get different lengths and stuff. They are actually fun.

Look into a juva bun- inexpensive - can wrap it around a bun to add volume

Hair loss is a common side effect of WLS. As long as the OP is in contact with their doctors, etc., no need for a specialist.
