Hair loss, evidence with picture and me bitching...



Recommended Posts

I thought I was gonna get around having this happen to me because the rest of my April group was losing and I wasn't. Then BAM, it started! hair everywhere! I thought it was really bad until I had a haircut and the beautician commented on thick and healthy my hair was! I guess I had a lot beforehand! Anyway, I am almost a year out and it has stopped. Hang in there!

I'm lucky that I have a lot of hair because I've probably lost half of it. I know, in my head, that it will grow back but when I'm in the shower and it's literally coming out by the handful there's nothing I can do but cry. It's horrible. It's so much worse than I thought it would be. I'm so happy on so many levels but this Hair loss business just makes it really hard to fully enjoy all of my success. I really can't wait until I'm on the other side and I'm bitching about all the new growth that's getting in my way!

Well said! It's a bit traumatic no matter how prepared you are!

I'm right there with y'all. Had my surgery 12/11/13 and my hair has been coming out by the handfull. I'll start saving it and putting it on my roses. My scalp seems to be drier than before too, very itchy. I try my best to stretch out the time between washing and use a moisturizing Shampoo and conditioner AND a leave in conditioner.

I'll be glad when I'm through this phase.

Hahaha, I have about half of a shoe box full of hair that I've pulled out of my brush. I swear, I could sew a small wig at this point. Today is the first morning that I can literally look at my hair and see it's thinner. Not good, not good at all. Like I said before, I have/had a lot of hair, but I'm seriously concerned now! At this rate, there's no way I'll have enough hair by the 8 month mark!

Update... I was 6 months out on the 21st and, while I'm still losing more hair than normal, it has drastically slowed down. I wonder, how long between the Hair loss stopping and regrowth starting?

I am 9 months and I am having regrowth now. It stoped falling out around 7.5 months.

Yes I also lose hair by the handful. It's crazy. Luckily I had super thick hair to start. No one probably notices but me. But it's still aggravating.

      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.

      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.
