19 weeks post op and hair loss



Recommended Posts

Hi guys! I'm 19 weeks post op and my hair is starting to fall put. I take 5000 mg of biotin...but does anyone have any tips? I knew my hair would thin but now I'm seeing my hair line receding and I'm worried. Any tips would be so helpful. Thanks!!

Hmmm. I'm 6 months post-op and haven't noticed any Hair loss yet, but then again I already had thin fine hair from having thyroid issues. Like too, I'm taking Biotin to keep it healthy and strong and growing and I also just started using Minoxidil.

From what I understand, 3-6 months out from surgery is when we can expect Hair loss. It has something to do with major surgery and rapid weight loss. I don't know when exactly it is supposed to start growing again though but it should.

I had it around there and decided to shave my head (I had pretty damaged hair to begin with due to bleaching and dying it). My hair is starting to come back the way it use to be and pretty fast too.
