Hair loss

Hi everyone, 

I am having my sleeve on August 11 and was wondering about hair loss... When did it start for you? Was it noticeable? How much and for how long did you lose? Did it grow back? Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

My hair loss stared at 3 months and pretty much stopped at 6-7 months..

I had thin hair to begin with so it was very noticeable especially around my temples..

i cut it into a cute pixie that now that I don't have a big moon face, I can totally pull off!!

I started taking biotin 5,000mgs a day right after surgery, and I am happy to report my hair came back, 

stronger and thicker than it's been in YEARS!, even the hubby noticed!

My hair loss started at 3 months post-op, and continued for at least 3 months.  At 5 months, my hair was noticeably thin, and I could see my scalp on top and along the part. I started using a body foam and blow-drying my hair to make it look fuller.  I was able to manage it, but thought about buying a wig!  There were no bald spots but it was noticeably thin.  At about 8 months post-op, I noticed a crop of short hairs sticking straight up on my head.  I was so happy to see it that I didn't even mind that I looked scruffy!  By one year out, my hair was back to normal. 

It wasn't fun, but it was short-lived.  And the weight loss is forever! I did take biotin supplements, and was careful to get my protein in, but I don't think either helped much.  Its just part of the process.

best wishes.
