When did you post-ops...

See a return of your missing hair? I know I am being good with my protien, vistamins etc and yet I am still having hair loss. It is so thin in front I can see my scalp if I don't style it the right way. I am really discouraged. I fear I will be bald before long!!!!!

Jaimee, You're scaring me now! I'm pre op and have thinning hair on top. You can't hide it. My scalp shows already. It sounds like I will be bald after the surgery! Luann

mine stopped falling out about a month ago now. I was clogging the shower drain, now there is just a few there. I still loose some each day, but it's back to the "normal" amount that everyone has daily. Soon Jaimee, our bodies all are on their own time line. hugs,

Hi Jaimee, I am just now,11 months out just getting a little hair back. I tried everything until the Biotein,nothing worked . This is I think. I have to style my hair the right way too. I have a comb over lol.Do you take the biotien?

HI Jaimee, Good to have you back. I had the hair fall out late. It was not until I was over a year out of surgery. The nutritionist suggested that I take biotein also. She also recommended using ground flax seeds, a tablespoon once a day. I am having great results with this. Hope you find the answer for you. Deb

Hi Jaimee! Hope you are doing well! I'm feeling good but my hair is very thin, especially on top and around the face. I never had thick hair but could usually coax it into a nice style with some teasing and lots of gel. Now there doesn't seem to BE a "right way" to comb it - the scalp just shines through. My driver's license picture (March 2005) shows soooo much more hair than I have now! I'm almost 7 months out - the person who does my hair says she "might see a little new growth" at the temples but nowhere else. Wah! My PCP says as long as I am getting proper nutrition (like my vitamins, etc.), it will grow back when it gets good and ready, and might even look different (curly or something? plaid?) when it re-appears. So, no good news about the hair but just wanted to say HI! Hugs, Kitty B. RNY 12/13/04 251 / 158 / 145 someday

My hair is very thin too. It is starting to come back a little. I dont think I will ever have much hair again. Remember the wiglet??lol, Cindy
