Hair Loss Prevention
The good news is you can take that hair, skin, nails vitamin (I got mine at Wal Mart) & I washed my hair slightly less than normal & kept it in a pony tail during the really bad loss months.
I had my surgery in April, hair loss started in July & was over by end of September. At that time I also switched to Head & Shoulders and probably just out of coincidence, the loss stopped & my hair started coming back & was super soft.
Just wait it out. It doesn't last forever.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with Stella. I started my hairloss around four months out and it stopped around seven months out. I didn't lose it all and what I did lose, all grew back!
There really isn't much we can do to prevent this from happening! We can load up on B vitamins, Biotin, Zinc and all the hair-loss prevention products we want to....our bodies go through a lot when we have WLS. Bandsters go through similar hair issues too. When our bodies are physically stressed, they tend to take care of the 'core' first. Hence the reason we lose hair (the least important thing for our bodies to 'worry' about).
No worries, it'll be fine, k?
Have a great week!
