Nope. Sorry. Should slow down and stop by 12 months postop.

I'm in the same boat...

Just be patient and go with the flow. I started losing mine 5 months post op. I am now almost 10 months and the Hair loss has stopped. Keep getting your Protein and Biotin. Hopefully all will be good

In my experience, nothing is gonna stop the Hair loss. I started Biotin 2 weeks pre-op and have taken it daily since. I've gotten in 60-90 grams of Protein daily since post op week 2. hair loss started gradually in week 10. Now at week 12 it's really coming out. Thankfully I had thick hair to start with. All I'm hoping is that the loss isn't noticeable to others. I guess we all have to ask ourselves: would we rather be overweight and unhealthy with no hair loss, or thinner and healthier with a bit less hair? I'll take the latter every time!

Hair loss usually starts at about 3 months postop and lasts until 7-9 months postop. It'll start regrowing at about 12 months postop.

It's the operation its self that causes the loss. Anyone that has major surgery or illness might lose hair in a similar fashion.

There really isn't anything that we can do, except keep up with our nutrition so when it's time to regrow, it can have a healthy start.

Mine shed big time at month 5. I'm now at month 10. It stoped around month 7 and now I'm doing all sorts of homemade treatments to regrow. Vitamins on target but Water intake is a huge problem for me and I also think it didn't help my Hair loss issues.

I had the sleeve. My Hair loss started around 3-4 months and is still going strong at 9 months post op. Every time I show it is scary, my hair is so thin now.

This has me very worried, as I already have thin fine hair.....wah wah....

And going on a cruise 3.5 months after surgery....hope it waits until after that if it happens. It seems very individual as to when, how much, and how long.

Same story. Started losing at 3 months, now at 7 months slowing down. I got a layered bob to help look fuller and stopped blow drying, dying and ponytail s. I started doing a trim once a month to try to stop split ends because it’s dry as well. Looking a little better, hair dresser said new Hair growth visible will take several months to grow in.

      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.
