throckmorton 22 Posted August 13, 2013 My hair is really falling out now. Thank God I have a lot of hair. Has anyone tried something that works for them to keep it from falling out so much. I'm still having 2 Protein Shakes a day just because I like them and all my Vitamins.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luckysmomma 407 Posted August 13, 2013 I've tried it all. . .biotin, collagen, prenatal, fish oil, special shampoos, not washing, not styling . . .hair loss is inevitable, according to my dr, no matter what you do. Good news...it does stop eventually....I just hope it is soon! Good luck to all of us experiencing it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JesCC 4 Posted August 21, 2013 I had my sleeve may 20th and in the past three weeks my hair has really been falling out. I have a lot of hair so I'm hoping it won't be to bad, and everything I'm reading says it should only last up to 3 months. I'm hoping for sooner! Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarareed2010 5 Posted October 13, 2013 I could make a wig from the hair that falls out every time I get out if the shower!! I am hoping that it slows down soon. I too had thick hair so it is not too noticeable, but it scares me to see all that come out of my head .... That and my hair is everywhere lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kj44 215 Posted October 13, 2013 I was having the same issue. I was sleeved in April and by July I too was leaving a trail of hair. When I showered it would come out in my hands and every time I brushed I got a brush-full of hair. I was to the point of panicking I might go bald I just did all the dr said( Biotin twice a day upped my Protein ) and tried to keep it braided brushing the least amt possible and washing it less. He said I'd see a difference in about three months and I have. It still is coming out a bit but not in the bulk that it was. I think me stressing about it was making it even worse so I avoided thinking about it(hence the braid, lol). Don't worry. It does get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewSetOfCurves 1,553 Posted October 13, 2013 I agree with the previos posters, there is noyhing you can do. It inevitably hapens to 99.9% of us sleevers (I've read a couple posts reporting no hair loss). Just follow your doctors nutritional and supplemental orders. http://www.advancedweightlossnj.com/hair-loss-after-surgery.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da1stladie 63 Posted October 23, 2013 Mine is thinning but I keep it braided a lot. I am almost 6 months out. :-) But from what I have read it will grow back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
