So depressed about my hair



Recommended Posts

Update*

I finally went ahead and had my hair cut above my shoulders. The exact style isn't exactly what I wanted but I love my wavy hair. There is some small growth but I still have a way to go. PXL_20230215_174014067.PORTRAIT.thumb.jpg.a8bcc9e430e69b4a961a46d5c0934f00.jpg

When did everyone's Hair loss begin after surgery? I am almost 2 weeks post op and haven't seen any loss yet but I am sure it will probably come.

For those of you who have have very light colored hair (blonde, grey/white).....BABY POWDER! In a pinch when I need to extend my shampooing, instead of using dry Shampoo, I discovered baby powder. It hides my scalp, absorbs excess oil and thickens my hair.

It often starts around month 3 & will persist about 3 months. As with all things it may start sooner or later than that and last more or less than 3 months.

Mine came way late like 4 months or something like that.

I completely understand the Hair loss as I have thinned ALOT! My biggest thing is I didn't even think about it happening until it did. I was focused on other things, so it came as a surprise. Every time I plateau I start to get it back, only to lose it when I start losing weight again. I'm hoping that it comes back better when I'm done and only maintaining.

I apologize for my late reply, but this information may be useful to someone else. I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling down about your hair. It's great to hear that the loss has slowed down, though! If you're struggling with Hair loss, it can be really tough to know where to turn for help. I wanted to share my experience with Nova Medical Hair Transplant Miami - their specialists really helped me effectively solve the hair loss problem. I was impressed by their expertise, professionalism, and personalized approach to hair restoration. They use the latest technology and techniques to ensure the best possible results.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
