Did your hair stop getting greasy after losing weight?

Oh, I forgot to mention....my hair is coming out in handfuls right now! (4 months out) It happened to me 3-4 months after giving birth also. I did ok last time....my hair is super thick so I have some to spare....but there's a lot of hair cleanup involved in the bathroom after washing and drying my hair!

Wierd I was just thinking about this today.  Prior to surgery, I had super super oily hair.  Like wash in the am and have it look like I never washed it by mid day/ evening.  I tried all different types of shampoo and nothing ever helped.  NOW my hair never looks oily and I LOVE IT!

Wow, yeah, now that you mention it, I can go about a day longer if I have to on the hair. Less deodorant, too. Hands are fine and I wash them about 40 times a day!

Oh and my hair grows much faster now. ;o)

My previously oily hair became dry immediately after surgery so it is about malabsorption, not about weight loss.   I no longer need to wear deodorant, either.  I don't know what to attribute that to!
