I'm 6 months out and having the same problem. I take my Vitamins and Biotin. I heard it can last 3-6 months. It sucks for sure I wish mine would stop also.

I hear ya ... I'm not too happy. I knew it was going to happen but didn't realize how bad it could get.

Oh my! 2.5 months out and today in the shower I got the most ever. Then drying my hair and of course just when I run through my hair with my hands!! I use Shampoo and conditioner that's supposed to help but it does not.

I use Biotin, take my Vitamins, and get at least 65+ G Protein daily. This is gonna suck!

I am about 14 weeeks out and started Hair loss at 12 weeks. I was sleeved almost six years ago and that's exactly when it started then too but only lasted about a month then stopped.

generally Hair loss happens if you are not getting enough Protein. Everyone I know swears by the biotin... but just remember you are not going to absorb the full dose. I am little over 2 months since my surgery and my hair is not falling out. There are so many different factors that go into the hair loss aspect. But hair is not a big deal to me. if i go bald they make really cute wigs. NOT having to shop at lane byrant is so worth having to snake my drains.

Mine didn't start right away. Maybe took 2-3 months before it started falling out. Hair loss is common after any surgery anyways but this is excessive and I thought it was supposed to stop around 6 months and it's 7 and still coming out.
The Biotin will work for growing new hair but idk what to do about keeping it from falling out. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I am 6 1/2 months post op.. hair it is falling, even talking Biotin and protein..

Is not much, or noticeable since I have lots of hair, but shower does not lie...

I have to do a bit of clean up every time ... I thin should stop by 8th month or year, once you have more nutrients intake..

I hope your Hair loss is not dramatic.. best of luck

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
