Sending u love. Make sure you’re getting your Protein. I like a product calle jeunora. https://www.jeuneora.co.nz/
My friend who is 12 months post swore by it and it’s helped my hair up until now too (tho I’m recently post).

there really isn't much you can do about the Hair loss other than keep on top of your Protein and Vitamins so that it won't be any worse than it already is. Reviews on things like Biotin are a mixed bag. Like the above poster said, the only thing that will work for most of us is time. The hair WILL grow back.

for most of us, we're the only ones who notice the hair loss. If you're one of the unlucky ones who've lost to the point that others notice, too, a shorter cut or a different style might make it less noticeable.

Mine has just begun to fall out and I am almost 6 months. If I remember correctly after my first surgery it didn't last very long and no terrible effect on my looks.

Like the others have said, there's nothing you can do about it. However, I do think that having long hair makes the Hair loss look worse than it is - maybe you might want to consider a shorter hairstyle (not short, just shorter) while you are in this stage. It doesn't last forever and the only person who will notice is you. My first surgery was 3 years ago and I have very fine hair, but I did go through a couple months of hair loss like yours - no one noticed. I took extra Biotin every day (including a couple months before surgery), used biotin shampoos and conditioners, etc. - I don't know if it helped or not.

Remember - it won't last much longer, and no one will notice except you.

Unfortunately, if you're already experiencing Hair loss there really isn't much you can do at this point. Look up Telogen Effluvium. It can happen after surgery, psychological stress, extreme weight loss, change in diet, hormone changes. Get it? We're inherently at risk for this and if you've already started in with it, no amount of Vitamins or specialty shampoos will stop it.

The good news is, it will pass. It takes a few months, but it will pass.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
