Yes it stops, and yes it will grow back

Maybe try a different style for a while.  You're likely the only one that is noticing it's falling out.

Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!

Phewwwww!! I def am wearing it differently!!!

 

I have to say I'm one of the lucky ones. No dumping, foaming, etc....ever.

 

Only nausea occasionally...and constipation. But this hair loss boy lol

 

I feel line the weight liss has stalled too. I need to go back to the vet basics I think.

YUP...it does stop and does grow back !!!   Does take time though.  Mine thinned quite a lot, not so sure others could notice.  I remember that feeling in the shower as you grab your hair in a ponytail to squeeze the water out.....and you have nothing but a skinny little rat tail in your hand.  Im feeling at 19mths that its almost back to normal.  Some people lose a lot....some a little but its NOT PLEASANT.....but in the end so worth it!!!

Hair loss? I can't afford anymore Hair Loss :-)

 

Is this part of the side effects after surgery?   Had not heard of that previously.

Rapid weight loss and anesthesia are both known to make us lose hair.  Some lose tons and others very little.  I have very thick hair and I lost about 2/3 or more of my hair.  Nobody noticed but myself and my hair stylist.

Yes, as stated above. Only my stylist and I have noticed so far.

Thank you Ladies.  I don't have much left to lose so I probably won't notice.
