Hair loss

Hi C Leigh, Oh my goodness, that's so interesting that you mentioned how much better your hair holds a curl & style now. I, too, had really thick heavy hair. I broke out the curling iron a few weeks ago, and was SHOCKED that it actually took a curl! And how short a time it took me to syle my hair. It used to take at *least* a half an hour just to curl it! (And then it really wouldn't stay that way.) I was done in like 10 mins! And it stayed styled! One good thing about having such thin hair, I guess! I've been mourning the loss of my hair a bit, so it was nice to see some positives about it. Take care! Lisa

IM SO GLAD YOU ASKED THIS . I WAS GOING TP ASK THE SAME THING TODAY I WAS BRUSHING MY HAIR TODAY AND HAND FULLS COME OUT AT ONE TIME IM WORRIED . I HAVE HEARD THAT IT WILL SLOW DOWN . I SURE HOPE IT DOES OR I WILL SURE BE BOLD . SARA 283/188/140

Hah! I am Madam Hooch now - if you have seen the harry potter movies... my scalp is showing all over and i am seriously considering a wig or a weave. i hate it. but... i can't be totally unhappy. i LOVE how i feel now as compared to 6 months ago!

I'm also losing hair.. i find my brush is full of my hair, It looks looks like a furry animal every other day! I find strands of hair on my pillow, my ckothes.. and the feel of it is different.. and it's not as thick and soft as it was.. I was doing okay with hair loss until recently.. I have been taking Omega fish oil tablets since surgery.. actually i took them before.. but I'm still losing some.. peace Mo 290/219/? 140 I hope!!

HELLO EVERYONE WELL I THINK THE MAGORITY OF ALL OF US POST-OPS LOSE HAIR . I'M GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING? EVERYTIME I TAKE A SHOWER AND TOWEL DRY MY HAIR I GET MY BRUSH FULL OF HAIR. ITS STARTING TO CALM DOWM A LITTLE THANK GOD! I HAVE MY HAIR SHORT NOW, WHEN IT WAS LONGER I FELT LIKE THE BRUSH WAS EVEN MORE FULL OF HAIR. BUT I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THIS IS ALL COMING TOO AN END. GOOD LUCK EVERONE AND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THIS IS ONLY TEMPERORY.

Thanks to all of you for your posts. It really does help to know I am not alone and this is a common thing, not something I have done wrong. Now if my hair just knows that Jan. 18th is our six month anniversary and regrows, that will be great!

yes Im loosing hair by the hand fulls infact I now wash my ever so thin hair and just run my hands thre it and leave it because Im tierd of clumps comming out in the brush and you dshould hear kids afte I shower if they get in there before me,and all four of my sons are SICK of finding moms hair in their food!! Im gonna have to start wearing a hair net when I cook LoL, my hair has always been thin and past my shoulders and now I finally had it and cut it my self to my shoulders hoping that what falls out maybe wont be as bad, heres to rogain for women!!

Yeppers...losing hair sucks! I lost a handful everytime I wa**** So now, I am trying not to wa**** but every other day or every third day if I don't have to go anywhere. It's really frustrating. I cut my hair short to make it look healthier, and actually am getting compliments on how good it looks.

Hi Debbie, Yep, my hair loss started a 2 months. Eek! I'm surprised I'm not bald by now! But the loss has slowed way down from what it was. If not, I would surely be bald then! But boy is it thin, and you can see my scalp all over my head. I hate it, too. I keep hoping that by 6 months it will stop. That's what I've heard, so I'm trying to be patient. I get all my vits & water in each day, but not always my protein. I've heard too many stories where nothing helped, so I didn't bother with biotin or anything like that. I agree with you, I wouldn't trade my weight loss for thicker hair. But I'll be glad when it grows back! Good luck, and know that you aren't the only one! (As proved by the length of this topic! ) BTW, you are doing AWESOME on your weigh loss! Congratulations! Take care, Lisa 360/345/216/160

Hair loss here too. In fact, it just really started about two weeks ago. My husband told me I left a gob of hair on my pillow. Went back to look and sure enough, there was a handful there. My brush is full everyday. My bathroom floor gets lots more attention from me lately as I am always wiping it up. Hope this slows down soon. My husband is talking about a wig
