Hair loss...does it ever come back?

@@Jengarcia055,

Everyone’s experience is different. The amount of hair you lose, and when you get it back, and whether it comes back the exact same, depends on your nutrition and your other habits and your genetics.

In general, yes! You will get your hair back. It may take a while, but it usually comes back. A few sleeve patients get it back a little thinner than it used to be.

The things you can do to help yourself are to take Biotin and the other Vitamins recommended by your surgeon, get your Protein and Fluid, and generally take care of yourself: sleep enough, exercise as you are allowed and can, etc.

Good luck!

This is one of my big concerns. Such vanity, I know but my hair is something I've always felt good about myself. It doesn't help that I've noticed just with age my hair is getting thinner. I just ordered the Nioxin system and started on my liquid Biotin. I'm hoping both will help with re-growth!

I know what you mean, i feel bad about how vain it sounds in the grand scheme of things. But just like you my hair was always something I always felt good about. I think I'm going also start taking Biotin it cant harm it (my hair) and maybe keep it as healthy as can be expected when i color it. ????

I am 9 weeks out and losing hair. I am so sad. I started my bariatric Vitamins weeks before surgery. I have had several other surgeries and have never lost hair. I stopped taking my hormones when I had surgery and started them again 2 weeks ago. That hasn't helped. I am surprised I am losing hair so early. I am getting 85-100 g of Protein daily. Biotin helps with growth. I don't think anything helps with loss except protein. It real really stress me out if it continues.

I wasted money on Biotin. Over a year my hair thinned where I had to wear a wig, and finally I have hair again. Thankful. I did everything right, and I credit my husband finding me a hair Vitamin which helped greatly.

Jen, I took Biotin for over a year, even before surgery. My husband found Puritan Prides Vitamins For hair and within a month I could tell a difference. I had to wear a wig for a year and summer in Florida it was awful.

@ geeeeez!!! Did the Vitamins help with Hair growth? It didn't prevent more Hair loss did it? Maybe I will give those a shot. I'm worried if I am losing hair at 9weeks what will it be like at four months????? Man I can't do without my hair!!

Rking, the hair Vitamins helped turn it around. I took so many vitamins, and still even Thiamine shots now. I seemed to have worse problems than most people here.
