I have the same thing. I wish the Hair loss would stop, and my scalp weren't so sensitive.

Do u wear your hair back in a pony tail?? Bc that could be another reason as to why

No I make it a point not to. It literally feels like I banged my head and it's bruised. My husband yells that my hair is EVERYWHERE, it's even woven into his uniform lol

I knew the hair falling out was part of the game, but this tender scalp is well tender!

My hair is falling out so bad. I hate even combing it. It is everywhere as well. The dog and I are seeing who can shed the most and I am winning. :(

Just 2 weeks ago i was going through the same thing. Major tenderness in scalp with scaps. This was due to the major amounts of hair falling out like Water during the shower, then right after shower when i was brushing it then through out the day when i would tug it. Ive always had fine hair and not much hair to begin with so this was a huge problem for me, it was falling at a crazy y rate and in just 1 month think i lost like half my hair. It shows big time on the front and sides.

Since i was sleeved back in Dec, ive drank like 5000mg of Biotin daily, then two weeks ago (after crying my ass off seeing my scalp) i bought these pills called Hair, Skin & Nails. The directions are to drink 1 tablet 3x a day. A drink one after Breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Well this week is the 3rd week and i am starting to see difference. To start with, no more tenderness or scabs and less hair feel out in the shower and during brushing. This week i was even able to blow dry my hair and not much came out. Also when i tug it during the day, about 3-4 strands come out, compared to the bulks that came out before.

I hope i am not jinxing myself for talking too soon but i think these pills are working. Give them a try ASAP. Heres the pic. If you try them f/u with me for results.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
