I have questions about hair loss



Recommended Posts

Hey I was 6 months out and thought I had dodged that bullet, only for it to have bitten me at this time. All I can say is take your Vitamins religiously, it helps way more than you think. GIVE IT TIME. If you're older, try that Rogaine stuff.

I am 10 months out. For me, it started at 3 months and has only just recently slowed down. It happens to everyone to varying degrees, it is temporary, with WILL stop and the hair WILL grow back. There really isn't anything you can do to stop the loss, you just have to wait it out (its called telogen effluvium). Make sure you are getting your Protein and get your labs done to ensure nutritional deficiencies don't make it worse. collagen and Biotin can help with regrowth, but won't do much during the loss.

Hair loss is super common after bariatric surgery (actually, it can be a side effect of ANY major surgery because of trauma to the body - but I think we see it more after bariatric surgery because in addition to surgery trauma, we're also taking in very few calories those first few months)

I had it from months 5-9, but fortunately, I didn't lose very much. I doubt anyone noticed besides me.

about the only thing you can do is keep on top of your Vitamins and Protein to keep it from getting any worse that it would otherwise. Some people swear by things like Biotin, but others say it did nothing for them, so....

I somehow dodged that one but I hear about it from so many people on here. It’s very common. The consensus seems to be that there isn’t much you can do about it but wait it out. Taking your Vitamins and getting in Protein of course help some but my team says that those hair regrow products won’t speed up the process. For females, extensions would be a fun way to add volume.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
