I don't know, but I hope it ends soon. I'm into my 4th month and am losing hair by the handful. I comb it before I wash it and when I comb afterwards, it still comes out by the handful! Fortunately I have a lot of hair. I think I'm the only one that notices my hair isn't as thick as it use to be. I wonder how much more I would be losing if I wasn't taking Biotin :o

Hope your Hair loss stops soon (which could mean mine will stop soon too...hehehe)

I'm 4 mo out and my hair is doing the same. A friend who had it done last year said she went thru the same thing and it did stop. Guessing this is just a phase we go thru.

I am 9 weeks post op & started noticing the excessive Hair loss about 2 weeks ago. I heard the hair loss really kicks in about week 8 & continues for a few months. I hope it slows down as my body adjusts. Taking a sublingual b12/biotin from wonder labs.

I am losing a lot of hair as well and was told to take Biotin 10,000 mcg.. I am trying not to stress about the Hair loss but it's difficult sometimes.

I am almost 6 months out and really started noticing Hair loss about a month ago. I got Bosleys Shampoo and conditioner for viably thinning hair and rogaine for woman and my hair feels way thicker. I still notice some hair loss but NOTHING like I was seeing before.

Mine started coming out around 3.5-4 months, and kept coming out really bad for about a few weeks. I went to a dermatologist, got some cortisone injections and topical, and it slowed way down about 1-2 weeks after that. It's still coming out some, but not bad at all. Mine was not thick before this, but it's really thin now :( I'm anxious for it to start growing back....I think I see some little hairs growing in, so I'm encouraged!

My surgery isn't until July 2nd. Reading the Hair loss stories kind of freaks me out. I will tell you that I'm a hairdresser, and I've recommended Redken Intraforce hair care for my clients that have thinning hair. I've noticed a remarkable turn around for them. Worth a try. I'm going to order the liquid Biotin ASAP.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
