Will I ever stop losing my hair?

Hi, guys!  Long time no chat.

 

I had my surgery in October of 2015 and since then I'm down 117lbs.  It's great.  I have a little bit of loose skin that I'm hoping to tone up at the gym, but other than that I have no complaints!  

 

EXCEPT for the hair loss.  It started around three months after surgery and I'm still losing a fair bit of hair every day.  I figured this would be over by now.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there a chance it just won't ever stop?

 

Thanks, and much love!

Are you taking Biotin? It helps.

They say the average person sheds 50-100 hairs a day.  So if you are like me....get out of the shower and comb your hair out.......a fair bit is there each day.  I tend to have my hair tied or clipped up in the summer so those hairs arent able to fall until I bru**** out.

What I found really weird was...in the first couple mth postop I noticed all my arm hair was gone....I didn't have hairy arms ...but they were bald!!!!  It has since grown back.

It'll stop! Mine lasted for almost a year and I thinned out a lot.  I to was happy with my results but upset about the hair loss.  It's horrible!!! But yes it will stop and it will regrow.  Congrats on the weightless and try not to worry!
