naturallyzee 292 Posted August 21, 2017 I had gastric bypass March 8th. So I'm almost 6 months out. As of this morning I'm down 97 pounds. To date I have lost a minimal amount of hair. This has been my biggest fear. My hair is my best feature. I have always had long, thick, and extremely healthy hair. Do you think I've made it through or is there still a chance Hair loss can occur?

naturallyzee 292 Posted August 22, 2017 I know some of you may think this is shallow and not deserving of an answer but you don't know what growing up was like. Aside from my family I've only received complements on my hair. People have literally told me. You are getting bigger and bigger but your hair is still pretty. All through high school I was picked on about my weight. The only defense I had was I may be fat but you're bald. I can always loose weight but you can't grow hair or I could cut off the amount of hair that you have and still have more hair than you. My hair was literally the only thing I had that people didn't pick on me about. I don't have pretty teeth or pretty skin. I only have nice hair. Even though I'm almost 100 pounds down I still feel like my hair is the only thing that I can before proud of. I feel like if I lose my hair I will go back to being that sad miserable girl everyone picked on. My mind still hasn't caught up with this smaller body.HW 330SW 292CW 213GW below 200 1 Nhope reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrrlAnn 177 Posted August 22, 2017 My doctor's office said that Hair loss is the most common in the first 6 months and usually levels off by 12 months. So, there may be some risk you could start losing but I think it's very low. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!Sent from my XT1585 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nhope 146 Posted August 24, 2017 Not shallow at all!!!!! I have a similar experience. My hair is my thing and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't experience any Hair loss, and trying to remember that it's temporary! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
