Anybody lose just a little hair?



Recommended Posts

I am seeing more and more hair when I wash my hair or run my fingers through it. I don't see big clumps of hair but it is still noticeable.

I am just wondering if this means I should just face the fact that I am going to be one of the ones who has problems with hairloss, or can you have just a slight Hair loss?

I started with a little hair loss at 4 months. By 5.5 - 6 months, I was loosing a lot. So much that my scalp burns being out in the sun, and my part is noticible. I started taking Protein supplements, and 3 weeks after, I've noticed a dramatic decrease in the Hair loss.

I never lost clumps, but I thinned out a lot, as most people report. When I wash and dry my hair, I would have hair in the tub, hair in my brush, on the floor and over my clothes when drying. Each time would make a nice nest for some bird!

In order to keep fullness in my thin hair, I use a good volumnizer.

I believe the Protein supplements really have helped (I just posted a new thread about what is the best way to incorporate these into my diet without jepordizing my weight loss).

Try not to let this get you down, and stay focused on your goal of weight loss. It is temporary and adding protein does help!

Hugs,

JoAnne

I'm at 5 1/2 months out. I've been losing very small amounts of hair. Certainly not clumps. But it has been noticeable to me. But I don't expect it will get worse and I know it is not noticeable to anyone but me.

I got tons of Protein, and took Biotin, zinc and anything else anyone told me to try. I used the Nixosin Shampoo and still lost over half my hair. It sucks, but it's growing back in!

      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?
