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.

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.

      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!!
