Hair loss after PS?

I lost alot of hair about 3-4 mo after I had VSG.  I'm having a Breast Lift and brachioplasty on 11/22 and I'm wondering if I'm going to lose my hair again.  Did those of you who underwent PS lose your hair again?

I am wondering the same thing.

I am now 5 months out from ps and it hasn't happened to me

I also lost hair after my weight loss surgery but I didn't lose any after any of my plastics procedures.

I didn't have WLS but I did lose a lot of hair after my second round of plastics. I had the 2 rounds about 9 weeks apart. My hair fell out for about 6 weeks. It was really very scary. It has since resolved and appears to be growing back again. I tried to keep my protein intake high before during and after, but I'm 41, peri-menopausal and I also have hypothyroidism so who knows which or if all of this contributed to my temporary hair loss.

 I am so glad you posted this, I am wondering the same thing. I had lap band about 6 months ago and I am loosing so much hair its scary. It started maybe 3 or 4 months after I had surgery. I know you loose 100-150 strands a day typically, but I think I am loosing closer to 1000. I am so worried about going bald. So for those of you that said you lost hair with your wls how long before it went back to normal. I am also wondering since I guess I am prone to hair loss that will I loose it if I do Plastic Surgery too? Thanks Jennifer

Jennifer,
I am 13 months post lap band. I, like you have lost a great deal of hair (sometimes a palm ful).
About a month ago I started taking Vitamin B-12, Biotin, and Zinc. This has slowed down the hair loss significantly.

I am scheduled for plastics (3 procedures) in 3 weeks, so I am hoping that the hairloss doesnt start up again. I also know that increasing your protein helps minimize the hair loss.

Best of luck to you !

 Thanks for your relpy. I am just starting to take a multi vitamin that includes what you listed. I guess I just needed reassurance that it can be normal and temporary. Thanks again.

I've had 4 surgeries in 3 years: RNY, then gallbladder, then 2 rounds of plastics. I lost hair all 4 times, usually around the 4 month mark and it lasted for about 6 weeks. I never went bald and I have lots of new hair.
