7 1/2 weeks out and the hair loss begins. Start that early?

I was hoping to make it to 3 months before the hair loss started.

It has started, sigh.  

I notice up in the bangs area.  It is really thin, and to me, it's really noticeable.

Oh well.... it's still worth it!  

Did anyone's hair loss start this early?

 I lost the weight with Weigh****chers.  The only reason I stopped was bcos I had a fear to lose weight.  If you visit my profile it explains why.

hair lose is due to rapid weight lose on some people, even if you are 7 1/2 weeks post op you have lost alot beforehand also so I would imagine to contributes to your early loss

My doctor said it is due to a shock to the body, and he said there is nothing that can prevent it.  My dermatologist said this and my bariatric surgeon.  Of course we all know about protein and biotin.

Is it shedding?  I'm not looking forward to it.

I hope your loss is short lived!

The hair in my bangs area is just disappearing.  Getting close to looking bald but just about an inch in.  I am not looking forward to the next few months as more goes.

I'm 6 weeks postop from back surgery and I'm losing TONS of hair. I'm scared to wa**** or bru**** because I get 30-40 strands that come out at a time. So the anesthesia plays a huge part in the hairloss, I was under for over 6 hours. I'm scared I won't have any hair left if I continue to lose my hair after being sleeved in July. Yikes.
