thinathart 197 Posted August 10, 2012 Is there anyone out there who have reached their goal and not had Hair loss? I see lots of posts regarding hair loss...but wondering if anyone was able to avoid it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinaMari 75 Posted August 10, 2012 Good question. I'd love to know the answer to this as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barrbdoll 287 Posted August 10, 2012 Hair loss usually hits at months 3-4. I will be 4 months post-op August 16th and while I have noticed some shedding it's not bad at all... I have fine hair but it's thick if that makes sense.. I recently got about 4 inches chopped off so maybe that helped! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traceyc 89 Posted August 10, 2012 My Hair loss didn't hit until about month 5. I feel like I will go bald any day now, but other people say they don't notice any thinning. I had really thick hair so I think that helps. I was starting to think I might not have any hair loss before it started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thinathart 197 Posted August 10, 2012 I was hoping there was someone out there who didn't experience Hair loss. I know it will probably happen to me, but at least this gives me hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pas-Petite 12 Posted August 11, 2012 Au contraire, I'm 1 month + 1 week post-op and my hair is starting to fall... Or maybe I'm paranoid. But still, I'm not losing too much yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prisytomboy 24 Posted August 11, 2012 It would be super helpful if the ones that DID NOT experience hair loss could provide some insight on why they think they dodged the bullet. Did you have any complications? Did you get the recommended Protein in daily? Did you lose weight fast, slow or gradually? Did you take any supplements? Did you do anything special? I'm sure this information would be appreciated by ALL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveDreamer 383 Posted August 11, 2012 I have no idea why I had no hair lloss. I asked my doctor about it since I read on here that so many have it, and he said he didn't realize that would happen, that he never heard of any of his patients saying anything about Hair loss and he didn't know what would cause it. Other than anesthetic causes it sometimes, but he said that usually happens right away. I have always taken the Bariatric Advantage chewable Iron and Multi Vitamins. I drink almost a gallon of Water a day. Never had any complications of any kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
