Hair Loss

Have any of you had the hair loss. My Dr says it happens, but I am already losing hair from auto immunes. so he said mine would probably not growbback.  I dont like that idea but it is what it is. i am blessed no matter what. 

I thought I had dodged the bullet because mine started so late.  I had been doing biotin for months before and after surgery but then it started.  Mine did come back and it came back with some curl/wave.  I always, for 60+ years had totally straight hair.  So that was a pleasant surprise.  Unfortunately, it didn't all come back and I have a pretty bald spot right in front, think male pattern baldness.  Keeping it short helps. 

I thought about wigs but as active as I am, that would really get in the way.  So I just live with it and the saggy skin and am thankful that I am 100lbs lighter and still very active at 65.

I didn't experience hair loss until 6 months post-surgery.  Stay up on your protein drinks - I really do think that helps.  Mine did grow back but I find now, even 6 years later, if I'm low on protein I'll start losing it again.

Thank you

Have you had surgery yet? 

I thinks I was around 4 or 5 months when I started losing mine. Before WLS I went out and looked for wigs but fortunately I didn't need to buy one.  Take Biotin after regrowth starts.

no my surgery date is Jan 15th

Believe it or not, I was reading the other day about Monistat (yeah, the yeast infection cream!) does wonders for hair growth... Crazy I know, but lots of people do it. I'm planning to give it a shot if I experience hair loss. Can't hurt!
