Hair Loss

I am 3 months post op from VSG and I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing constant hair loss.  I am aware there is hair loss after such surgery but can anyone share their experiences with this and an approximate idea of when it may start to grow back again?  Also do you lose so much that the scalp[ will become visible?  I appreciate any feedback on this thank you.

I am almost 7 months post op. I started really losing at about 3 months and so far can't see a slow down. I cut my hair short a couple months ago. I figured if I didn't see as much in the sink it wouldn't bother me as bad lol. I do have to be careful in how I brush my hair. An area on each side is getting pretty thin. I'm hoping that the loss will slow down soon.

Usually stops at nine months

Make sure you are getting enough protein.  Look into adding Biotin to your vitamins.  I am at 9 months post and it slowed down a little while ago.  (I didn't know it but some doctors have their patients start with the biotin and the other vitamins 3 mo before surgery.) 

Biotin is not selective to just head hair though.  If you are predisposed to facial hair, guess what?  Biotin doesn't know the difference.  

You're right on time for telogen effluvium (google it to learn more) to begin!

It lasts only a few months and stops on it's own.  If your hair is long and straight, now is the time for a makeover with layers, for new hairs will start emerging (they are what is causing the shedding right now) and you don't want to resemble a chia pet.

Thanks so much for educational info and the humour I love both.  I have layers now and my hair is just passed my shoulders.  So maybe time for a trim.  Thanks again.

I started losing right around the 3 month mark too and am already getting new hair growth at about the 6 month mark. I have short straight hair with layers. I bought a product from Sally's Hair supply - Toppix hair fattener and it seems to help bulk up the hair I do have!
