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?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
