Djmohr 6,965 Posted December 29, 2016 If it happens it usually hits around 10 to 12 weeks post op and will continue through the massive weight loss phase. It might be a little soon to tell for some of you at this point. Also, you might be one of the lucky ones that does have any. I will say that I lost nearly 2/3 of my hair from month 2 to month 13. I did not have bald spots but my hair was thin. While I was losing it, new hairs were popping up all over. I can honestly say that my hair is as thick if not thicker than it was before surgery. In fact my stylist swears it is significantly thicker. Also the texture changed and I went from some body in my hair to very curly hair. To the point where it is difficult to straighten it......

Chelle Bean 51 Posted December 29, 2016 Im one year out and my hair is thicker! Maybe from all the Protein and Vitamins? Ive been fortunate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j16 166 Posted December 29, 2016 I haven't had any hair loss that I know of and I'm six months out from bypass. I was really worried about it cuz my hair is fine and sparse anyway. In fact I bought a wig before surgery. I began taking Biotin about six months prior to surgery and was super careful about getting enough Protein, Water, and fat after surgery so maybe that helped.

Babbs 14,681 Posted December 29, 2016 After almost 3 years on this forum and seeing hundreds of posters, I've heard of just a handful who didn't lose hair. Im one year out and my hair is thicker! Maybe from all the Protein and Vitamins? Ive been fortunate! You've been the fortunate one of the handful I've seen . We all take Vitamins and Protein, and it still happens to most. Like @@Djmohr said, it doesn't start until around 3-4 months post op. The good news? Hair grows back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catwoman7 11,220 Posted December 29, 2016 I didn't lose any. Or if I did, it was so little that I didn't notice it (I'm 19 months out, so it would have happened long before now) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
