Losing hair after all

[Barry W 336]

Dammit! I had my surgery on Feb 28 so am exactly 5 months out, and I have been noticing loose hairs hanging in my eyes and on my desk, etc, and although it doesn't really look thin yet, I am definitely losing hair at more than the normal rate.

I have actually been eating very healthy - getting a lot of fruits and veggies, lean meats, sensible portions and taking a daily Multivitamin pill. I did slack off some on my Protein in the past month, but have still been having a Protein Bar or shake on most days.

I read what they had to say about Hair loss after bariatric surgery here:

Patches (cost be damned) to minimize the hair exodus. For the rest it sounds like it's just be patient and keep doing the right things.

Hey! Just hang in there and keep doing what you are doing. I also had my surgery in February and I noticed hair start to fall out at the 3 month mark. It's been slowly, but steadily falling out. It isn't thin to the point where anyone notices, and honestly if it wasn't for the actual hair being everywhere ALL THE TIME, it probably wouldn't bother me. You've lost a great amount of weight, so keep up the good work and focus on the positives. Your hair will stop falling out before you know it
