Yes.. I know you get hair loss.. no prob.. Nobody mentioned that when the hair comes out.. it gets all tangled with the remaining hair and causes GIGANTIC KNOTS!!!!!! I have fairly long waves/curls.. and OMG!!!!!!! :***( I was so close to tears, it took me 1 hour, my teen daughter and tons of conditioner to get rid of those rats nests!!! I have NEVER EVER had that.. so I know it has to be the hair loss.. I was so close to chopping it off.. I have a small trash can in the bathroom.. and it has craploads of hair in it.. :::cry.. whine..::

I'm right there with ya...I'm thinking of going and cutting a couple inches off to see if that would do the trick.

I have very short hair and it seems to be coming out too. Luckily so far it is not in huge amounts but I am sure it will start showing soon. I have an appt. In 2 weeks to get it cut shorter. I might dye it blond for the summer too, I think it will be harder to see my scalp through blond than dark red. If you keep getting the tangles try using Paul Mitchell leave in conditioner, it will detangle anything without the pain. Luck Brina

I need to color mine black atleast then I could blame it on the dog and say she is shedding and not me...I have hair all over the bathroom that I do my hair in. I have a lot of hair, so I am LUCKY but I am sooo ready for this to end. I think 20 pds of my weight loss has been hair

Same thing happened to me. I even had to do the "comb over" thing to try to hide it. But good thing I noticed it last week, I had weave in my hair and removed it to discover this hair loss. I went the next day and bought a wig that I have been wearing for the last week or so. I will wear this for a few months before I do anything with my hair, will probably end up cutting it off short too, even though I am a No-maintenance kind of girl. Angela

Well, we're all in the same boat then I hate blow drying my hair, because a small pile of hair always ends up in the sink, acky! Anyway, I am going to be grateful for the 85 lb loss, and not whine too much, life could be soooooo much worse! Have a great day all! Megan

Me too, it is shocking really to see how much hair has come out. I just changed my avatar to reflect my shorter hair. I will grow it back, I think because we are all Dec. people that we are all in the same boat. The hair loss has slowed since I cut my hair short though... I'm right there with ya!!! Erin

I"m losing hair at an alarming rate as well. Its also time for it to be colored....has anybody had more problems with hair color since surgery? In other words, has it made anybody's hair fall out even more? I'm a bit nervous to try it, but I hate the gray
