Hair Growth?

I know that hair loss can occur after WLS, I am not currently having this problem and in fact I having just the opposite issue. My chest and belly seem to be getting more hair. This may be explained by the fact that there is less area for the little suckers to cover, so therefore while the numbers remain the same, it appears more dense. But even when considering that, I do seem to have much more body hair. Happily, I'm not an overly hairy guy, but I'm wondering if anybody else is having hair growth? Wishing you all the best, my loss has slowed but I'm still losing.

Nope no chest hairs! hee hee! just teasing. I wish I had some hair comming in my hair is just falling out like crazy It will return though I know it but its a bit frightening. Be happy that you are keeping your hair and getting some more. Its much better than the opposite Best Wishes Elizabeth M

My hair thus far at 3 1/2 months seems to be doing well and very thick...but I (being a woman) have not noticed it growing anywhere else on body quickly. I have been very tenacious on caring for my hair from like week one..I take biotin, zinc, daily vits, e and d daily...in my protein drinks and noticed no loss this far. Here's to hairy guys! sue

Ken did they shave you in that area??? the hair usually grows faster after a shave.

NOOOO, no shaving done.

I have not experienced any hair loss either. Mine is just the opposite. My hair is growing like crazy. I have had 2 inches cut off of my hair TWICE since March! I guess it should start falling out anytime now. Even if I go bald I don't care -- I can buy a wig! RNY - 03/01/04 (285)258/180/130
