when did your hair start falling out?

how much did you lose?

when did it start growing back?

what products did you use to help?

i had surgery 7months ago & ive lost 6/8 of my hair. i used to have beautiful full thick long hair. now its very thin & ive even lost length. my hair fell out in chunks!!

i use biosil drops, Biotin pills, excessive hairloss Shampoo & conditioner & a super hair gro grease. the grease seems to be working but not fast enough lol. i was watching dr oz & he mentioned something called black currant. ill be buying those too!!! im going to overdose myself on everything possible to jump start this hair process & stop it from falling out so much! ive also upped my protein!

i also did a video on my sleeve journey vlog on youtube where i show you a chunk of hair that came out of my head!

I think all the special potions for preventing Hair loss and getting new hair to grow in are a waste of money. Companies are still looking for a "cure" for hair loss. Look at all the bald men around. If there were an answer, the airwaves would be bursting with ads about it.

Hey im 7 months out too my hair started falling out about 4 mths ago in clumps too the Dr told me to watch my protien intake because if ur not getting enough protien it causes hairloss...I started tracking my protien better I get between 90-100grms a day which may seem like a lot but id rather have more then less drink lots of Water I started taking Biotin pills and using Dr miracles tingling Shampoo and conditioner..I still get some strands falling out but nothing like before and ive gotten about 2 in of new hair growing in..hope this helps good luck :)

Were you really sick for awhile too?? Our bodies are responding to alot of stress, and if you had a leak, that didn't help matters any. My nutritionist recommended the Biotin Vitamins but I had never seen any proof that they really worked( I am in the pharmaceutical field) I wonder if they work or is my body healing and getting better nutrition? My hair starting falling out about a month ago, I am also wondering when it will stop. All the more reason to fill up on protiens instead of any carbs! And I am taking the biotin just in case it does help!

i disagree. when i was younger, my hair never grew & i had a horrible bob cut that just wouldnt grow. i began using super hair gro & it grew down to my butt within a year. huge difference. i started using it again & it seems to be growing back.

Eat avocados every day!!!

"So the reason that the avocado is such a great food to help you with stomach fat is given here in 5 main points:

It contains nearly 20 Vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients

It contains Oelic acid which helps to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood

It has amazing healing properties in general for the skin, the blood, sexual problems, skin disorders and more

It will help to increase your resting metabolic rate which will help you lose stomach fat

It tastes great on just about anything!"

Vitamins

"Vitamin deficiency can cause hair loss or hair to grow slowly. Avocados are high in vitamins B and E, which work at the cellular level to protect and strengthen hair. Vitamin B is essential for Hair growth. Vitamin E helps repair damage on the scalp, which may slow or prevent hair growing. Healthy hair grows half an inch every month. Using avocado in a conditioner or as a hair mask are the best ways to promote regular hair growth."

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
