Hair loss

[Melissa04 1]

After having the sleeve, has anyone experienced excessive Hair loss?

What do you mean by excessive? Did I get bald spots? No. It did get quite thin and I was glad to have wavy hair to help it look fuller. I honestly didn't notice how bad it was until recently. Now that the regrowth is 3 inches long, you can see how much thicker the hair close to my scalp is compared with the rest. It now looks like I lost at least 30% of my hair. I have pictures. You wouldn't know by looking at them.

I am two months post sleeve and I have lost a lot of hair, maybe like Heather 30%. You can read up on this, it's very common. Don't freak out, it will grow back.

Yeah, there are probably dozens and dozens of threads on this. New ones each week.

Try searching up top. People share their experiences and tips.

I'm almost four months post op. I have thin hair and was worried about Hair loss. I've been using Nioxin Shampoo and conditioner since I had the surgery and have had no hair loss. Getting in Protein helps too!

Yes I have had excessive Hair loss. Luckily no more is falling out but its really thin compared to what im used to.

Yes, I figure I've probably lost about half my hair and for whatever reason more seems to have come out of the top than the back, or so says the gal who cuts my hair. It started around 4-4.5 months out from surgery and lasted pretty heavy for six months. Now I loose what I consider to be normal amounts when I wash/dry my hair 11 months out from surgery. I have lots of regrowth that's up to an inch long. I've cut it pretty short and plan to let it grow back out as the hair grows in thicker. At least my thinner face looks decent with the short haircut! =)
