3 weeks post op and already hair falling !!

[MissPriss81 23]

I’m 3 days shy of 3 weeks post vsg and my hair is already falling!!! Lots! I get in Protein, take Vitamins, Biotin, fluids etc; but it’s DEFINITELY falling out. 🤷🏽‍♀️

My NUT says it’s an effect of the anesthesia.

Google (scholar) Telogen Effluvium and WLS ; Telogen Effluvium and hair regrowth for some sound answers.

Hope it helps!

Oh geez. Everything I've read said it's temporary. Your hair will come back, hopefully soon

It’s my understanding that the Hair loss comes during the next natural shedding cycle. Everyone sheds at the end of the “telogen” phase, which is approximately every 3-4 months. It depends on when your surgery is with correlation to your next telogen phase, as to when you will experience hair loss
