Hair Loss

Hi Everyone! Has anyone else experienced any hair loss since surgery? I have fine hair and I've really been noticing a lot on my hair brush in the last week or so. Jean

Yes, Jean. I lose about 2-3 times as much as I used to after a shower or when I brush my hair. I've just learned to be very gentle. The good news is that it isn't in patches, so no bald spots to try to cover. Plus, it's thinned out so nicely and evenly that my hair hangs much better than it used to and it's much more manageable. I'm sure you'll be fine! Julie

Not yet...thank goodness

I'm losing quite a bit of hair. My hairbrush or comb is full of hair after I shower and comb it. It is getting kind of thin on top, but thankfully I have quite a bit of hair so it's not too difficult to cover up. I'm just worried that if it continues, though it will be VERY thin on top and I won't be able to cover it up as easily.

No hair loss yet for me. Good luck to those of you who are already experiencing that. ~Wanda

Most definitely. I'm shedding. Everywhere. Been there done that before when I lost alot of weight. It'll resolve itself in time. Be patient. Kathy

I used to have goregous thick hair. Now, it looks like a dead rat is lying in my drain at the end of every shower! I can feel that its thinner, but it doesnt look too bad yet. My mom had rny 2 years ago and she thinned pretty bad, and said that by 6 months the shedding was over and new hairs started growing back soon after. Hopefully I wont go bald in the meantime! Glad I had a ton to start with! Hugs, Ginnie 239/188/140

I have been losing alot of hair in the past few weeks. I have fine hair but its really curly so it looks like alot. I do notice it thinning out though....kinda scary but everyone says it will grow back. Here's to hoping!!! Carrie

Its typical with weight loss like we're experiencing. As others have said, in time, it will correct and fill back in. Nothing to worry about (though that's easier said than done!).

I was thin before, and started losing like mad just about a week ago. I started using a new conditioner, though. So I'm goona change it and see if that helps. And mine is all on top. It sucks!
