 Hate to keep dwelling on this subject, but I was just wondering what is the average time is for hair loss to continue after VSG.  I am 10 months out and still losing a lot each day.  I don't know who sheds the most, me or the dog???

OMG... I am so sorry that you are going through this! I happened to be one of the lucky few who experienced no hair loss!

 I started losing mine about three months out and am now seven months out and it is just finally starting to slow down.  Make sure that you are getting in all your protein, taking your biotin, and I got the Bosley treatment shampoo and conditioner for thinning hair. It helped a ton and I think that is why it is stopping already.  You can only get it from a beautician/hair dresser.  If you go on their website, they will list the people in your area that can get it for you or carry it! Hope this helps!

Mine started the 3rd month and stopped on my 6 month. My nutritionist said it was because I was so diligent on getting my protein in. You can take all the biotin you want but if your not getting in your protein with it, its not going to work.

I started loosing my hair at 3 mos and now at 7 mos I have stopped. I started using WEN cleansing creme (shampoo) by Chaz Dean. Bought it on QVC. I use the pomgranite flavor and my friend who is out 5 mos stopped loosing her hair using Wen. She is using the Almond Mint cleansing creme. They are both universal flavors for all hair. I guarantee ou will see a big difference from the first using. Hope this helps

Thank you for asking this question as it has been top of mind for me lately.  I am approacing the 8mos mark (next week) and still losing hair.  It started at about 3 mos and at 3.5 was "full on".  I thought it was slowing down but then this week it seemed to "purge" again.  I get plenty of protein daily, take vits regularly (including Biotin) and awaiting the end so can once again enjoy my thick hair.

Thanks again for the question.  Thanks to those *****plied too!

My surgeon said that hair loss will stop when the rapid weight loss period is over.  He also said there's nothing that we can take/do to slow down hair loss.  So I guess if you're still losing hair you're still losing!   Mine started coming out at around 3 months and stopped at around 10 months.
