Anyone else losing hair?

Its coming out in clumps!! I just got my hair done, and my hairdresser was like, "you are losing MAJOR hair!! What is up? I was like, no big deal.. Another fun side effect from WLS>>>

Mine is not coming out in clumps (sorry about yours... wow!), but I am like the others who said that it is thinning. Of course I lost a ton of hair after I had my twins last year, so I am used to it!

Ya sad to say it is a part of WLS. I noticed more hair in the drain. Started uping my protein and taking a Healthy Hair Nails and Skin Vitamin and it seems to help some. It will slow down and then stop eventually. It is from all the shock to your system!! Nikki

Thanks for the advice and support everyone. I will try upping my protein and adding some biotin to my routine and see if it helps. I know people cut their hair off sometimes to make it easier to deal with but I just grew mine out - I don't want to cut it off!!

Add me to the future Yul Brenner, Howie Mandel, and for the American Idol crowd, Phil Stacey group. Mine has been coming out a lot lately. I know some of the reason is my inability to get all the protien I need. It is not coming in clumps, but I am cleaning my brush out daily and it is a little scary. I have a dr appt in a couple of weeks, so I am going to bring this up. Crystal Before: After:

I haven't noticed any major loss yet and I'm three months out. This post will probably make me so paranoid it'll start falling out from stress.

Hey Laura: Mine has been shedding too but not to major..when I go get it done now, I wear it up so I don't have to see the hair shedding too much. but this too will pass and I also head that once it stops, it comes back thicker than before.

Yes, I am losing hair. It has been falling out for about 3 weeks. I am told it is because of the decrease in protein and will come back. Rich
