...I dread when this starts for me. I have hair to my waist. I have heard that you need to improve Protein, increase Biotin, Nioxin shampoo/conditioner once it begins & that it will eventually stop.

I am almost 5 months out and for the last month my is coming out REALLY bad. I swear when I wash my hair my hands are covered in it. The top of my head is very thin. I am just going to continue to eat Protein and drink lots. I don't have any answers just feeling your pain. Hang in there.

Totally normal! It's called Telogen Effluvium. I'm four months out & my hair has been falling out for a few weeks. Your hair follicles went into shock with surgery and now the new hairs are coming through pushing out the old. Give it some time!

I just posted about this here it is...

Hi all. I was sleeved in October. I am very pleased with my 90 lb weightloss. However, I have been losing sooooo much hair. So, I did hours, days, and weeks of research. I ended up ordering a product called moringa a few weeks ago. It is 100% organic, it is a tree grown so many miles from the equator, has 92 nutrients, 4x Calcium in milk, 3x potassium in bananas, 2x Protein in yogurt, 4x Vitamin a in carrots, and 7x Vitamin C in oranges. I have been taking this for 2 weeks, am no longer losing hair and have gotten off all my meds except 1 (synthroid, i dont have a thyroid) and that's out of 15! It's comes in a packet that you mix with 8-20 oz of Water and, coming from a picky person, its tasty. It's been used in 3rd world countries that are fighting malnourishment and has been very successful. I did lots of research and ended up with zija moringa. It's a little pricey, but it was the best I found with the best bang for your buck. The one I take is called supermix and I believe is double the nutrients. Anyway, I wanted to let ya'll know because I think it's something all of us sleevers should take to replace the important nutrients we lose when we have the surgery.
