I'm glad I haven't lost any hair...but is the risk of losing hair over yet? I'm three months out from RNY.

Mine didn't start till month 4-5 and lasted about six months

I'm at 3 months and it's yet to start falling out. I've actually noticed my hair looking thicker and fuller (I have hashimotos and I previously experienced the thinning.). I'm hoping that my increased Vitamins, Protein and Biotin help)

I'm nine months post-op, and I never lost hair either. I took crazy amounts of Biotin starting right after surgery, so my hair actually became thicker rather than thinner. I was extremely anxious about Hair loss, and it turns out to have been a non-issue for me.

How much Biotin did you take? I take a daily multi, Vitamin D, and Biotin - I've been taking 10mcg of Biotin but not sure if that is enough! I have PCOS so already have noticeably thinning hair. :(

I didn't start losing until I was around 5 months post. Then it started falling out by handfuls! I am a little over a year and now am going through regrowth. Lucky for me I had really thick hair so no one noticed except me and my hair stylist! Just keep up on those Vitamins

Update: I started losing hair about five months out. Now I'm 8 months out and I can tell it's slowing down. Thankfully it's only noticeable if you're in my bathroom when I'm brushing or blow drying it and it's all over the sink. I think I was getting a little lax with keeping my Protein intake high enough. I've been paying better attention to that, mostly because I notice that my large muscles and leg joints get sore when I don't get enough. Just thought I'd drop in and let you guys know!

Mine started falling out like a week after surgery. I'll wash my hair and get chunks of hair in my hands, like when I was pregnant. I take 10,000 of Biotin daily but doesn't help. I may just use rogaine, no lie. It's thinning and I have a light scalp so you can tell.

      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.
