Should I cut my hair? (Hair Loss)



Recommended Posts

I have very thick long hair too. I noticed huge amounts of loss around 4-7 months out after surgery. It is not noticeable to other people thank heavens. I am getting my haircut tomorrow as I have noticed the loss is normalizing and I’m expecting it will start regrowing soon.

@AstroCat I love the short hair on you too! Really brings out your eyes!

You don't have to chop it yourself, have your chair syled by a professional, they can work with what you have and make it not look raggedy. You are somebody, pamper yourself a little. You can grow it back out later if you want, okay?

Thank you for the compliments everyone! I'm very happy I did it.

Krista27- good luck! Only do it if you are sure though- I will say that it feels so liberating to have it off now :)

So @ AstroCat, do you feel a little light- headed? Your old hair had to Weigh a fair amount, but this will be easy to take care of for a while.👍😛🌈

I kinda figured all along you would end up cute, you can always grow it back out when your,hair thickens again if you want.

@ Palomabella are you saying the albuterol sulfate in my nebulizer will help thicken my hair? Wow I hope you're right -'it's thin naturally.Anything that will help!

I’m suffering Hair loss however stated taking silica tablets. It’s not falling out as much as it did prior. I still am getting fall outs but nowhere near as much. I take one tablet daily.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
