Hair loss

I haven't had any. I am approaching the 3 month mark. I am sick of my hair as it is, but want to wait to see if I lose any hair before I do anything drastic. When does it usually kick in -- if it is going to.

I think it's 8-10 weeks in most cases, but it doesn't have to happen. Maybe you get a free pass to skip this one. I think you paid double at week #4.

Hey Lin.... My loss started right around 3 months, i just made my six month mark on july 30th and it's finally starting to slow down. It was really upsetting, but I knew it was a side effect. I have to use creams to make my hair look thicker, its so thin right now. I heard hair loss doesn't happen to everyone...so count your blessings! I love my hair dresser too, she has been cutting my hair for years now and she knows how to keep my hair looking cute, thank goodness!

hi, I am approching month 4, and I still have no hair loss. I did cut my hair anticipating it to happen, but it has not. Good luck to you!

I started losing alot of hair around three months, it finally slowed down around six months. Thank god I have long naturally curly hair so you can't really tell that I've lost alot. The doctor told me it's different with everyone, you might not lose any hair.

Mine started around four months I think but stopped around six or seven. Some people don't lose any at all. But I would hold off a little longer just in case. Make sure you drink your protein and take your vits too.

Mine started at about 6 months out. I had always had big thick hair. I looked like a cancer victim. However, at that time I had extremely low magnesium/potassium and a horrible skin infection. My hair did come back, w only one thin spot . Vitamins, baby vitamins, and PROTEIN. AND BIOTIN. I made a point to drink 3 cups of Carb Count down a day for several months. A small price to pay to lose 250 lbs glenda

I started losing hair around four or five months out, and it has finally slowed down in the past few weeks, around 6 or 6.5 months I guess. It is pretty alarming to have fistfulls of hair every time you wash your hair or put anything in it. I guess because it was fairly thick it never looked abnormally thin, thank goodness. It's ironic because the surgery is meant to help our bodies get thinner, not our hair! I'm hoping mine is growing back in now that the loss has stopped -- but I think it will probably take a while for that to show.
