I am 4 months out from my surgery. Down 30 lbs and -11inches. Has anyone had a problem with hair loss and/or is it temporary?

Hair loss wasn’t an issue with me, but then again I am bald. Truthfully, this is quite normal. After about 6 – 8 months you’ll notice your hair will be getting back to normal.

 

Make sure you continue to take your vitamins. Some folks recommend taking biotin to help, but there is no scientific studies that this actually works.  

Good Luck on your Journey !!

I had my surgery almost 11 months ago and still have a major problem with my hair falling out. I've been taking my vitamins and trying to get my protein in that I'm suppose to get but very hard to do so. I take my biotin like I'm suppose to, but isn't doing anything that I can tell except for making my nails very strong and my hair grow faster..I'm needing something to help keep my hair intact lol. I was told that after 6 months it will straighten out. I'm 11 months out and still waiting on it to stop. If you find anything that helps please let me know. I'm willing to try anything as of right now. Oh and do your self a favor and not get a perm to make your hair look thicker due to the hair loss...it just makes it worst. Best of luck
