Pescador 1,374 Posted July 2, 2017 There are more posts archived on Hair loss than anything else. Personally I started losing hair at 5 months, for approximately 2 years. I used Biontin for six months before the sleeve for two years. Worthless. I bought a good wig and thank God I did. Finally since Nov. 2013 to 2017 I have a head of healthy hair again. I quit coloring my hair and did everything possible to protect my fragile hair and nothing worked. Good luck. Invest in a wig just in case. I paid less than $200. Don't buy one without trying on. Hair extensions will pull out more hair. My opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IveGotThePower 395 Posted July 4, 2017 I started loosing a few months after surgery and I think it started growing back at about 10 months post op because at 12 to 13 months I could see 2 to 3 inch long hairs growing in all over my head. It was not fun, but I knew it was a real possibility and a minor inconvenience compared to getting rid of the weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KittyV 27 Posted July 4, 2017 So glad I saw this. I am 5 months out and did not think my Hair loss was too bad until my mom asked me why my hair was so thin... I have alway lost some hair due to thyroid, but it is getting worse. Didnt start until a month or two ago. All labs came back normal. I'll just keep trying to increase my Protein as much as I can.
