1 year anniversary and my hair is so thin!

[Dswartz73 1]

I had vsg surgery last November. I had the typical shedding of hair that happens with weight loss. I thought I was over the hump. But my hair feels even thinner now. I just bought Bariatric Fusion hair nails and skin Vitamins as well as Olaplex. I haven’t been great with my vitamins, so I’m completely taking the blame. But I’m freaking out! Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Are you still meeting your Protein goals? Protein provides the amino acids which are essential to Hair growth. Maybe up your protein intake further as well to see if it helps. If you’re still losing, your body will be relying on the protein you’re consuming for more needs than growing hair.

When did you have your last blood test? You may be lacking in some essential nutrient which is contributing to your Hair loss &/or slow regrowth.

Have you spoken with your surgeon or GP?

Do you actually still see a lot of hair loss or is it just that your hair feels thin? It does take time for your new growth to catch up & replenish the hair you’ve lost. I cut my long hair to shoulder length so the new hair would take as long to grow to reach the length of my existing hair. It probably took well into my second year until my hair felt thicker again & much like it had been.
