nothing will work at this point other than time. Fortunately, it's temporary and it'll grow back. Mine lasted for about three months. Fortunately, I didn't lose much - certainly not enough for anyone (except for me) to notice.

hopefully not - most people don't make it to that point, fortunately!

go to the trichologist. or to an endocrinologist, unexpected Hair loss is a cry for help from your body. there may be thyroid problems or anemia. also hormonal problems ..
in short a lot of things
so visit the doctor


you can take Biotin supplements in parallel, for example, and use hair products with biotin curtin, etc., but I'm not sure if they will help without treatment
maybe the doctor will tell you to take a closer look at the Multivitamin complex for hair (where there is Iron, B Vitamins, collagen, keratin)

Clip in extensions will make your hair more full. Plus you can get different lengths and stuff. They are actually fun.

Look into a juva bun- inexpensive - can wrap it around a bun to add volume

Hair loss is a common side effect of WLS. As long as the OP is in contact with their doctors, etc., no need for a specialist.

      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.
