Loosing more than expected

[Brooke333 26]

I'm soo upset. I knew that at one point post surgery I would loose some hair but now I can't brush it or run my fingers through it without my hair falling out. My hair is thinning to the point where I am having to look at wigs....this just makes me want to cry cause I've always had beautiful hair and it's practically gone. I'm struggling with the fact that perhaps the weightless isn't worth it if I'm going to go bald at 32. I've takin all my Vitamins with Biotin on top and am trying my best to get the Protein everyday....my 3 month check up showed that my protein was good so why am I going bald? Just really having a hard time staying positive when I feel I'm loosing more than just the extra weight.

Awwww....I'm sorry. I'm getting sleeved the day after tomorrow and Hair loss is a concern for me as well. I wish I had some advice for you. I do know that it will grow back but that doesn't help much right now. Try to stay positive and focus on your health. It will get better. (((hugs))))

I have pretty thin hair and lost SO much after a totally different surgery last summer so I'm expecting the worst in a few months time. I've heard of people getting extentions, which i might have to. But I used hair powder to 'hide' the really thin spots, Vitamins and shampoos. There's not much else, apart from a great haircut! It's disappointing but you will NOT be bald. Just be patient... You're still beautiful and it will all grow back! Photos of products/ vitamins.

Hi all,

Do what you have to do to get through it - it does grow back. At two years out, mine is finally thick all the way to the ends again. The combination of radically reduced calories and anesthisa does a number on just about everyone's hair. My hairdresser looked like he was going to cry every time he saw me for a few months.

I know women who have had this surgery and swear by the Chinese Herb Sheng Fa. I was sleeved on Tuesday & will start taking Sheng Fa when I start.all my Vitamins. I urge you to at least google it.

LOSING your hair goes hand in hand with your pants getting LOOSER.

It might grow back for all of you but took me years and years just to get my hair shoulder length my hair grows super slow so if I have to cut it or whatever it won't be the same length for a long time..luckily I have very thick hair so hopefully it won't effect me much. I hear garlic oil Shampoo and conditioner helps

I'm sure you don't mean that

50 lbs. down the toilet!!!!

Flush

you are doing great

you are losing hair for a while - but following all the WLS rules, you are losing weight forever!!!!

you are saving your life with WLS

14 years ago i had breast cancer

not saying that for sympathy

just trying to put things in perspective

my hair grew back a few months after chemo

scarves work great, and they are cheaper and can be very becoming

i'm now cuter than ever!!!

and i am living that healthier , happier , longer life

keep up the great weight loss
