Question for Women Who Have Had Babies- Hair Loss



Recommended Posts

I have hit the three-month mark and my hair is starting to fall out. So far, not too bad. It reminds me of losing my hair after each of my three pregnancies. For those of you already past this, was it about like the Hair loss with pregnancy? I am hoping it doesn't get worse!

I am 4 months post op and it is still coming out. I started losing around 3 months as well. According to my Bariatric team it should hopefully stop soon. The good news is it is just thinning, there are no bald spots.

I started taking Biotin about 3 weeks ago.

Biotin will help with regrowth but it will not stop the dead hairs from shedding.

It does remind me of the Hair loss after pregnancy. I'm only 2 months out and I'm starting to shed. I take Vitamins, but it still fas out. I'm guessing it's gonna take a while before my body can catch up to the lack of calories and slow down of hairloss

The good news is I am Italian and had a very thick head of hair. Now it is pretty but thin.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm 4 1/4 months post sleeve surgery and have noticed that it seems my hair is falling out faster than normal. I'm taking Biotin, but am wondering if there is a really good brand that someone knows of?

Drying my hair right now and every time I run my hand through my hair, lots of hair falls all over my keyboard!

I had thin (and fine) hair to begin with so this was something I was really worried about. My doc told me Protein, Protein, protein. Our nails and hair are made from protein (keratin) so it is vital to make sure we are getting enough. With both of my pregnancies, my hair stopped shedding and I was ecstatic, but after they were born the shedding resumed. I went to a dermatologist a couple of years ago and he recommended women's rogain. Well, I am horrible about using it every single day so I never really noticed a difference. I had heard a bunch of people recommend Biotin for nails and hair even before surgery and the doc mentioned it as a supplement so I thought 'why not.' I am also a pretty skeptical person, but I have to say, the Biotin has worked very well for me. I do still shed, but it isn't a big increase over what I experienced before surgery, so I am happy!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
