Hair loss

Yep, lost about 40% of mine. Doc says that when the weight loss slows down, the hair will stop falling out and most will grow back in... So I would rather be thin & buy a wig than have thick locks of hair. Karen

I already had VERY thin hair! And I am losing lots! I am scared that I am going to be bald soon. The doctor said that about 6 months I should expect it to stop! I can't wait that long!!!!!!!!!

My hair is falling out too. My the handfuls.. I even cut mine off to make it look thivker and fuller.. alot of people recommend useing nixon shampoo and also I have heard walmart carries a vitiamin called "HAIR" and it is suppose to help too. I have noticed alot of new baby hairs growing in place of my missing hair..but like most..I have alot of hair and living in florida I can stand to lose a little bit of it.. whew..hope it don't last long though..yikes

I also had thin hair to begin with so, I kind of freaked when it started coming out. I am lucky to have a hairdresser who had WLS three years ago. I went to her and she gave me this hair routing system by Alfaparf to help with the thinning. I'm also taking extra vitamins to haelp: B-complex, Biotin, and some hair formula....in addition to multivitamins....all from Vitamin Shoppe. I have seen a difference this week....not so much on my brush. I'm hoping it doesn't get too bad because I'm getting married next summer and am hoping to have enough hair for something beautiful.

I don't like it either. My hair has come out by the handfulls too. It doesn't matter if I am washing it, combing through it, or just taking my fingers through it. There is hair loss-- in mass amounts! I used to have such thick luxurious hair. I still have hair, but am afraid that one day, I will awake, and it will be all gone! This is probably the most terrifying part of WLS to me. Aphrodite~
