I am 4 months post op (in 2 days) and my hair has recently started coming out in huge handfuls.. I am exceeding my protein goals every single day and take my multi vitamin and biotin everyday.. does anyone have any advice or something that has worked for you or helped with this? I am so depressed about it.. my hair has always been really long and thick and now it’s so thin and I’m terrified I’m going to lose it all. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have taken 5,000 mcg ofbiotin for the last 7 months..

I was sleeved in November 2017 as well.. I exceed my protein goals every day so protein is not a problem and I take my vitamins and biotin everyday and have since 3 months before surgery. Before I went to see my hairdresser about my hair loss, I looked into nioxin and I have both color and chemically treated hair and didn’t see an option for both and she told me about Ultrax Labs Hair Surge and that it is probably the best over the counter hairloss shampoos out there and just needs used on the roots 5 days a week and to add zinc and silica to my diet. So I just ordered all of the above and going to see how they help.

I could never cut my hair that short.. the shortest I would ever be willing to go would be to my shoulders.. I’m sorry to hear about your friend.. cancer sucks. I’ve lost several family members to it and I pray someday they find a cure!

Unfortunately for my job, I have to wear it off the collar of my uniform so my hair has to be up all the time :-/

Thank you so much! That means a lot! I am so glad for this forum.. without it and all of you, I would be lost!

I’m a federal law enforcement officer.. hard not to stress in my line of work.. thank you for your encouraging words.

I hope so! I set a goal to lose 30 more lbs between now and July 22 (my bday). At this rate I might lose 3 lbs between now and then! I will remind you if you have a stall.. I’m just extra frustrated right now. Work in one of the most stressful jobs known to man kind and then my hair falling out and my weight loss stalling.. just wish I could catch a break!

Lol.. just want my hair to grow back overnight and I will be happy!!!!

On top of the hair loss, I’ve been at a stall for 2 weeks now.. so frustrating. If I eat and drink everything I’m supposed to and push myself during workouts, I don’t lose a thing.

Mine is the worst in the shower.. then it falls all day over my uniform at work and it’s black and my hair is blonde so it really shows up.. embarrassing.

I would look terrible with a bald head.. some women can pull it off, but I’m not one of them

Mine just started this week... so the stuff should be here tomorrow.. this is probably the worst part of the entire surgery aspect for me..

My hairdresser steered me far away from nioxin and told me to get ultrax labs hair surge.. I will try anything tho at this point.. I just want my long thick hair back

Well that’s 2 more months of this... I will be bald. :-/

Well that’s 2 more months of this... I will be bald. :-/

6 month mark from surgery or 6 months after the hair loss started??? I can’t take even 1 more day of this or I’m going to look like the girl in the movie The Craft

my pre-op diet was clear liquids for 2 weeks with the exception of protein shakes. I had to stop drinking the protein shakes 48 hours prior to having my surgery.. I was on clear liquids for 3 days after surgery then was allowed to incorporate my protein shakes back into my diet. I was on liquid diet after surgery for 2 weeks then moved to puréed. At my one month post-op appointment he moved me to soft foods for 2 weeks then back to normal and wanted me to try different things. I couldn’t tolerate chicken at all until a week ago. But crystal light and biotin pills, even taken directly after I eat, I could not tolerate.

I take collagen too, and have for years.. never really see a difference with it.. maybe I’m just destined to be like this

I actually got the barimelts biotin since the pill form makes me puke. The biotin in pill form were the only things other than crystal light that has made me puke. The barimelts just melt on your tongue.

I started taking biotin around 3 months prior to having surgery.. I’m looking into Nioxin but unsure of which system to use since I have color and chemically treated hair.. :-/

I do not have one in my area.. I am looking at it and another one called Ultrex Labs Hair Surge.. just stressed and depressed

I will look at it.. I just had blood work done 2 weeks ago and the only thing that was not normal was my vitamin d. He said everything else was perfect..

I will be 4 months post-op on Thursday.. my hair just recently started falling out in huge clumps.. I have exceeded my protein intake from day 1 and I take my multivitamin and biotin.. I just recently read that silica and zinc can help so I just got some of that to try. Hoping it helps me because my hair is to the middle of my back and has always been thick and I’m so depressed over how much hair I have actually lost..

I have been exercising and eating like I’m supposed to... guess it’s just slower for some of us
