I am almost 5 months out and I am surprised that I am not bald yet! I can't tell by looking at myself in the mirror, but I know I am losing a lot of hair by the amount that I am losing when I brush my hair. It has slowed down a little, though.

I started loosing lots of hair a few weeks ago. I was sleeved in early December. I read a great article about Hair loss with with loss is you body's reaction to the stress and vitamins/ diet won't prevent it. Reminds me of women who put lotion on to prevent stretch marks. Can't prevent those either, it's either in your genetics or it's not

You can follow everything and then some and you will still lose hair. I got all the Protein, Vitamins, minerals and even took supplements like Biotin and zinc and I'm still losing my hair. Thankfully my hair is naturally curly so it's not terrible, but I can tell a huge difference when I try to pull it back or I don't bother to poof it out.

This freaks me out! I have very fine hair so when I lose everyone will notice.

My doctor told me that in month four I'll start to see Hair loss but by month 6 it will stop. And as soon as it starts to fall out new hair is growing in. Minor comfort but I'll take it!

The one thing I noticed is that it's not just my hair on top of my head, but my body hair in general is falling out, too. My arm hair and leg hair are both noticeably lighter in quantity and you can see where the new hair keeps growing in since body hair grows so much faster.

I'm 4 months out this week and it has definitely started coming out! I remember on my pre op appointment I even had to sign a form stating that I realized things like Hair loss are likely to happen... Yeah it kinda sucks but it will grow back, and if it gets to bad I will buy one of those products like those hair loss fibers you put in your hair!

I did not have much Hair loss. I made sure to eat lots of Protein, and started taking Biotin supplement before I even had surgery.

Hello, my hair loss was horrible.. I always had long beautiful hair.. Around 4 months it started falling out really bad!!! My hair brush and tub were full.. I was taking my daily Protein 60-80, Biotin, and skin/nails/ hair pill, and B12.< /p>

I am 9 months out and finally started seeing new growth... So happy about that as I have been super excited to show my family.

Don't worry about because no one will noticed! Hope this helps!

My hair is falling out like crazy. Started at 3 months out. Thankfully my hair is long and thick so no one has noticed. But- its falling out a lot. It will stop eventually.

Wednesday is 4 months out and my Hair loss started today. I'm bummed - I had finally grown back what had fallen out as a result of meds. Oh well, I'm just hoping I don't end up bald - I've got a very lumpy skull!

I am dreading the hair loss! I'm a hair stylist and always feel so bad for people who have fine/thinning hair. :( I plan on just putting a few tape-in extensions for volume. And yes, if it gets really bad on the too the hair fibers work well to camo Hair loss. There is one good one called x-fusion. Good luck to you all.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
