I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours... Hair Loss.



Recommended Posts

So, here is the hairball that I combed out of my hair this morning. Keep in mind, it is only what I combed out. My hair is constantly falling out all through the day.

I had my surgery on 6/12. I have been losing hair for a while now but the rate of loss has recently increased.

Now, I have SUPER THIN hair. I have for a long, long time. You can always see my scalp and I am scared to death of going bald. Here is a pict of the top of my head taken last week.

For any of you in my shoes, I do use a product called Xfusion. You shake it on your head and it helps camoflauge the thin spots.

Wow we had our surgery on the same day and guess what I too just started losing my hair. Since surgery I haven't had any major Hair loss it was actually growing then about a week ago it started shedding more and more every day. I have thin hair and you can see my scalp and a bald patch in the front where I part my hair.. UUUGH I wish there was something I can take to slow it down I've read that it will run its course. In the mean time I will try the xfusion it really made a difference on your picture. Thanks for the advice. Oh and which store did you purchase it from.

I bought it on Ebay. I wish there was something we could take to make the rate of Hair loss slow down as well!

My hair has been fine and thin forever now. It's falling out too, but not as bad as yours anymore. (I'm 5.5 months out) It seems to be slowing down but my scalp shows horribly. My BFs son commented, loudly and in public, on it, asking what was wrong, because my hair was "transparent" and he coudl see my scalp. Mortifying.

I would recommend shaving your head & then you don't have to worry about loss & it will show support for those fighting cancer----- win win

I actually envy the women that can pull that off!

At 3 months out, (almost a month ago) i noticed that more & more hair is coming out. I take 3 Biotin a day (plus a ton of other vitamins) & started using Fall Fight Shampoo. It doesn't seem to be helping.

This is a picture of what comes out after I shower while styling my hair. This doesn't include what comes out during the day. (which is a lot!)

I am starting to look very seriously at hats. :-/

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look at the Xfusion.

I would be afraid to shave my head cuz I'd be afraid it wouldn't grow back!

OMG! I knew I had thinning hair and I've noticed that alot has been coming out lately. But I didn't think it looked like this! I haven't even had the surgery yet :'(

      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.
