When does hair loss start?



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 months post op and started taking Biotin a few weeks ago. I haven't seen any Hair loss so far. I was just curious to know when or if it started for you?

I have had my band for almost 7 months and I have not had any Hair loss.< /p>

I think it really depends on a lot of factors. Maybe you'll just get lucky and it won't happen to you. I also think the more rapid the weight loss the more likely the Hair loss. I lost 100lbs in six months so I definitely noticed the hair loss. Once the weight loss stopped so did the hair loss.

MIne started shortly after surgery, but has slowed down quite a bit now. I'm six months post-op.

I do not recall having much Hair loss, but then again when I get a haircut often times they will thin my hair.< /p>

Mine started around 3 mths post op and it was at my 3rd fill a few weeks ago. I am losing A LOT now. Really focusing on high protein but may start Biotin this week.

Does anyone know of any drug interactions Biotin might have with beta blockers?

I've started taking Biotin a few months back, along with some extra Vitamins. Hoping it will help, along with my diet etc! Best Wishes that you just don't have any Hair loss at all! :D

5 months post op and it just started. Karma in my case. Got a little too big for my britches (did not intend to make a joke) and told someone I was not losing my hair. The next day I combed out several clumps. Oh, Karma was just waiting for me to stick my foot in my mouth.

I never had it come out in clumps but it was just a hair here or a hair there. Enough for me to notice in a hat or on a comb but not enough to notice on my head. One disclaimer is that I don't have a ton of thick fur up there in the first place. Lol.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
