Anyone NOT lose their hair?



Recommended Posts

I'm stocking up on all available remedies, but I'm already wig shopping. I have Hair loss due to my medication so I am expecting the worse after surgery. Maybe it won't be bad but we'll see.

I started to experience Hair loss at 3 months and I’m now at 4 months
Post op. My Nut said it could last 6-8 month but then it will stop falling out. When I brush my hair lost come out each time. It’s kind of nerve racking. In addition I wasn’t getting my 60grams of Protein in. So now I’m making sure I’m getting it in and taking Biotin. Hopefully it will help.

my hair was naturally thin, so I figured I would be bald. I couldn't stand the Vitamins, they made me sick, so I stopped taking them. I do take Vitafusin B12 and Spring Valley Hair Skin and Nails. I have had no Hair loss. I have been very surprised. good luck ladies.

I lot a ton, and by 6 months out my hair was this and sparse and just horrible. I did take all the Vitamins, I took Vitamin IV cocktails, but I hated how I looked so much I got extensions. I love them. I might need them for many more months, though now (10.5 mos out) my hairdressers says I’ve got tons of new baby hairs growing in, but it will take months to get them long enough to be “hair.” So I am loving my fake hair.

A lot of people seem to experience head Hair loss, what about other hair?

Have any of you lost leg hair or underarm hair or eyebrows?

Have any men lost their facial hair?

I’ve wondered about this as well. I have bra strap length locs and would hate to part from them. Good thing I looked on this thread and found some helpful info. Thanks everyone!! Doesn’t hurt to try.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
