I am really afraid of this...how far out are you from surgery?

It falls out for about three months and then stops. It does grow back so try not to worry too much. I got a cute haircut to camouflage the thinning areas. There were times when I wanted to cry. It does get better. Keep your head up!

Mine fell out pretty bad from the 5th-10th month. Now at 17 mo out I think it's thicker than it has been in a few years. But still alittle thin. I take my Vitamins and Biotin everyday since 6 month before surgery.

I am 9 months out from surgery and I assure you it does stop. I was pretty stressed about it too. Mine started around 12 weeks post op and continued until about month 6. I started taking a Biotin 5000mg daily and that REALLY helped! No worries, once you get further out your body will stabilize and everything will return to normal. Just keep taking your recommended Vitamins and supplements everyday. Also, making sure you are definitely getting at least 60 grams of Protein per day is essential. Good Luck!

My hair started falling out at 3 months and has not stopped yet Im almost 7 months post op. I have noticed keeping my Protein up makes a difference. I plan on starting Biotin.< /p>

My hair is falling out like crazy. I want to cry please tell me this ends. And it will grow back.

Have you tried Prenatal Vitamins, "hair, skin, and nail vitamins", or Biotin?

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
