Hair loss almost 6 months out



Recommended Posts

I am almost 6 months out. For the last 2 months, I have been losing so much hair. I have to admit, I have totally flaked out on drinking my Protein and taking my Vitamins, so I know that's real bad. I have restarted the protein and vitamins. But... when will my hair start to grow back?

Please give me some hope.

I have not been sleeved yet but from what I have learned is you MUST get your Protein in. That is most likely why your hair is falling out. Lack of protein will make your hair thin or brittle, it will make you feel tired and fatigued and if let go will cause medical issues. I would start taking protein and getting more B12. That should stop the loss and it will get better the healthier your body gets. I hope it gets better for you!

I'm almost 6 months out too and am losing a lot of hair. My hair was thin to begin with and I think it looks so bad. Now my eyelashes are also failing out. I'm going to be finally thin but hairless. I hope some people will give us some advice.

I think the Hair loss cannot be prevented, even with all the Protein, Biotin, and Vitamins we may take. The good news is, it will stop in a few months and immediately start to grow back. Mine fell out for about 4 months. It is scary, I know. But it's pretty inevitable so don't think you've done anything wrong. And remember that it will stop. Small price to pay for our health in the long run. Soon you will be over the trauma of it all and dealing with short stragly sections of hair that won't lay down when it grows back! And your new problem will be that your size 12's are getting too big. It only gets better and better!

How much Biotin do folks take? I think the extra falling out of hair has stopped finally at almost 11 months. Thinking biotin might help stimulate new growth. I have thin hair naturally and hair looks awful but sure don't want to wear a wig in san Antonio in the summer.

I started losing mine @ 2 months out, I stopped losing hair

after 6 months out and at 12 months out it is thickening back up and starting to look healthier. It is a small trade off to be thin :)

Take your vitamins, hit your protein counts.You can make it!!! You probably have 2 more months of shedding then it'll be over. I never stopped coloring my hair but I did cut it shorter to make

it look healthier.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
