I am 7 months out from my surgery and started losing hair at about 4 months out. To date I would say I have lost at least half of my hair. I too have been taking Biotin since before my surgery and have been using special shampoos and conditioners for thinning hair. What I want to know from someone who has lived through this is when does it stop?? Are you losing hair for an entire year? I knew this would happen but they really don't tell you how bad it's going to get or how long it lasts. Any words of wisdom?

I watched the show as well and it made me very sad and fearful. I'm only 4 months out from my gastric bypass surgery and am down 55 lbs. Need to lose about 40 lbs more but I'm afraid of what I will look like. I would be happy if I could just be a healthy size 12-14 and never got to "goal weight" and have my skin still look relatively normal. I'm 57 so there's not a lot of elasticity left in my skin. I don't want nor likely can afford this skin removal process. It seems to be a very painful process, there's high risk involved, and you are left with hideous scars. Now my concern is that I won't stop losing when I want to and will get thinner than I would like. I DON'T want to look like my skin has melted or go through this procedure. Is there a way to stop losing weight when you are happy where you are?
