Does everyone's hair fall out?

[muzical1 85]

Not everyone. My doctor advised me to take Biotin a few months before surgery. For those who experienced loss it will grow back once your nutrients are back on par.

I'm experiencing it now at four months out. I take Biotin and hair skin & nail pills. It seems to be working. I also take a Multivitamin. I'm hoping it passes quickly.

I am just over 3 months out and my hair has been coming out a lot it seems. I can run my fingers thru my hair and end up holding quite a bit. (At least to me it seems like a lot) I'm getting a bit worried as well and I hope the Hair loss doesn't last too long.

My dr told me to just make sure to eat enough Protein and that should not happen to me. I also told my dr that I decided to use Biotin 2500 mcg once a day. He had no problem with that. Biotin is for hair skin and nails.

Biotin is helpful, usually you will need to start this before surgery because it takes a few months before it really gets into your system. I take a chewable version that I bought at Walgreens. 5000 mcg.

I use the sublingual version. It's 2500 mcg. I started before surgery and continued after surgery

I started loosing a lot of hair around the three month mark. Now I don't wash my hair as often because I loose huge amounts every time I wash it. This was the worst day...

I think everyone is different but if I recall I started after 4 months or so. It slowly grows back but I have to admit I hope it grows some more.

I have noticed my hair falling out and thinning but at the time I wasn't taking any Biotin or calcium citrate to help prevent it now I am and I'm noticing less and less hair falling out and it us getting thicker

Mine is! But unlike most people, I'm kind of thrilled. My hair has always been really REALLY thick and ridiculously hot, especially for Texas.

I was a psych nurse at a state mental hospital. The patients that were there often stayed for over 3 months. It was stressful and lots of them complained of hair loss. Sometimes the meds causes it but sometimes it was poor eating habits and stress.

All of the patients were put on a selenium supplement by the psychiatrists. One of my daughters had to wear a heart monitor for 3 months before she had heart surgery. She was under a lot of stress, unable to play sports and always afraid her heart was going to have an episode. She lost tons of hair, I believe due to stress (she was on no meds). I put her on selenium and her hair came back.

I have seen the complaint about Hair loss in relation to WLS and am surprised I have never seen the suggestion to take selenium.

I'm kinda with you. My hair has always driven me crazy. If it gets to where it touches my ears and off it comes with a razor or clipper. As a kid I'd have to sneak off with my grandpa to the barber shop and get it whittled back.
