Berry78 4,261 Posted February 2, 2017 Ok, give it a good cry! Then take yourself down to the salon and get a new cut that will help. A wig is always an option too. At least you know it should come back. [Hugs]... Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamilw 13 Posted February 2, 2017 I am 4 months out also, and down 70 pounds.... the hair loss is real. I hate washing my hair. I have thought about cutting it short, but haven't done it yet. I go back and forth about it. I totally understand how you are feeling... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feel your pain. As of yesterday 4 months since surgery. hair coming out in handfuls. Getting married in a week Saturday hoping it holds that long. After I don't even care.

Dawnislas 74 Posted February 6, 2017 I've had that too since my surgery in September. I bought some Nioxin Shampoo, conditioner, and scalp treatment. It has slowed down the loss. I also take Biotin and only wash every 3 days to control the loss. I'm really thin in the back of my head but I still have some that I can do a comb over Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anonmom 95 Posted February 7, 2017 I worry about this, too. I am 11 days post-op, so not having this issue right now, but I am getting married when I will be 5 months post-op. I'm guessing that will be right in the middle of the hair loss phase. :/ Sent from my Nexus 5X using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
