Screw this hair shedding- Saying bye bye to 10+ inches

[mommytonya 77]

I did the same thing!!! My hair was past my but and I cut it like yours but about two inches shorter. Thank god because I shed like crazy I hate it. I feel like im going bald! It does look way better short though.

When you go into surgery your body will go into shock and will take about 3 months for a natural repair mode to kick in. This also happens because your hormones are all over the place. The more you lose weight and the fat goes away it allows for more of your hormones to surface.You can have dry skin, hair shedding and other things. Not sure if you ever had kids but this also happens after deliver. When your hormones start to rapidly reduce you'll experience this. I've heard the hair shedding is from the anesthetics giving at surgery.. not sure.

Also if you're not on top of your Vitamins and protein... It can happen. I take mine and I'm over my Protein so I know his isn't why.

Some say biotine vitamins work and some say bariatric patients aren't able to obsorbe biotine.

Some patients may not even notice this repair mode their body is in. You might be one of the lucky ones.

I think the benifits of losing lbs out weighs my hair shedding.

Oh ps.... This repair mode can last from 1 to 18 months.

Don't sweet the small stuff!

I'm contemplating cutting my hair also, My hair is long, It falls almost to my butt when it's straightened. It's always been really thick, so the Hair loss hasn't been as noticeable to most people, but I'm getting really tired of these strands falling out.

I'm in my 3rd month of post of and my hair has been shedding hike CrAzY!!! Dr said it could possible shed from 1 to 18 months. WTH 18 MONTHS?

I know since my hair is extra long its been making it look twice as bad

BEFORE

AFTER .. I chopped it myself.

because the strands are so long. I was so sick of hair EVERYWHERE I chopped it into a A-Line Bob. I know its not gonna slow the process down but it ain't gonna be as much hair. Plus ponytail and weak hair roots make things even worse.

New body.. new hair.. and a whole new tude to go with it. LOL

Short Hair... #SummertimeSwag

Whoop! Whoop!
