Mine was about 3 months of falling out and it slowed down around 4 months. This too shall pass :) I am just jealous of those that didn't lose any!!!

Started at about 4 months, but I didn't really notice, (I have a lot per square inch but it's kind of fine). When I noticed was at about 1 year when I noticed it coming back in and all the pieces started sticking up and falling out of the ponytail. I took Biotin from the first few months before surgery and still take it 2x per day. I don't think it helps you keep from losing hair, but it does seem to make a difference in hair\nail regrowth speed and strength. This too, shall pass.

My Hair loss is extreme. You can see my scalp and it looks horrible. I take Biotin, hair supplement and get all my Protein in. I am considering getting a wig.....it is that bad.

I've been losing my hair for 2 1/2 months now. To be honest, I dreaded taking a shower or brushing my hair at first because it was coming out in clumps. I would just get sick at my stomach seeing how much I was losing. Although I'm still losing, I've accepted it now and I'm not letting it bother me. I think it's slowing down or I have just gotten to where there's not much more to lose. I have had very long, thick hair my whole life so it's just getting used to the change. If I lose much more I will probably cut my hair short.

To be clear though, losing the hair is so insignificant compared to the almost endless positives I've had from the weight loss. The self confidence I've gained is worth all my hair 10 times over...

I started losing my hair months ago and I'm pre-op. ???????????????? Not sure what's causing the Hair loss.

I started using Nioxin about a month ago and I see an increase in Hair growth and less hair loss. ????

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
