 Hi everyone! 
So I make a year now this month from my RNY and happy with all the weight i lost. But like always, still not happy about the extra skin, the way my stomach looks, arms, thighs, butt, boobs just all! I do have an appointment the 18th of this month with a plastic surgeon hopefully that goes well for me. Another thing that is bothering me is my hair loss! I'm already almost a year out and my hair still falling and it started falling when i was like 4 months out of surgery. Half or i even think more then half of my hair is gone already and it keeps falling :o(
Is this happening to anyone? is it normal? i am taking biotin, but it still falling. My doctor said that my proteins are good because i had blood work done. Just wanted to see if is happening to anyone and will this stop? don't wanna stay bald! One thing i always loved is my hair.. If this is happening to any of u or has happen, how long more does my hair fall for? Just want to hear some feed backs. :o)

Congrats on the weight loss! I've read that biotin doesnt prevent or stop hair loss, it helps the hair grow back healthy and premotes better hair growth. Are you taking all of your vitamins and stuff?

Good luck! :)

I know a girl who had very bad hair loss, regardless of what she did.  It was very bad (as in pretty much a big bald patch on the top of her head) and it really affected her emotionally.  It's starting to grow back  now and she is a year out of surgery in June.  Sometimes that's just the way our bodies react and we can't do much besides what we are already doing.  Have you talked to your surgeon about this and did they have any suggestions?  

My mom has very thinning hair and uses Nioxin hair products designed for that.  I used it after I had my son and after WLS because my hair fell out in clumps.  I helped stop the loss.  Just thought I'd throw that out there if you wanted to try it.  

Good luck!  You look like you have beautiful hair in your picture!! :-)
