I'm 4 months out tomorrow and ya, hair loss is really picking up.  My problem is I had very little to begin with :-(

Congrats on the 64 lbs!!!!!!

Congratulations! So great to hear how many wonderful things you've been able to enjoy. Good information on the hair loss- I've pushed that thought to the back of my mind, lol...keep up the good work!

Congratuations....what a great job!!  We got surgery around the same time :)

I hear you on the hair loss.....but this too shall pass.  Keep enjoying those clothes!

That is awesome progress!  You are making me so look forward to this process and joining you all on the losers bench.  

I talked to my hairdresser, doctor and aesthetician about the hair loss thing and they all recommended Nioxin shampoo and conditioner.  They can also do once biweekly scalp treatments.  They do it  a lot for people going through chemo and other illness and people going through wls to help with these hair loss problems.  She also told me the Nioxin takes a few weeks to really start working too.

 

Just a tidbit and maybe it may help...I am starting it now before my surgery!

Thx Kim, I will look into it!!

I am in the same boat as you! it will be 4 months on Oct 7th! 66 pounds including pre op! 49 since surgery! I too love the feel of my clothes now! best feeling was going to my "thin sisters" home last night to try on her clothes!! they fit!! havent shopped much because i too, saved my thin clothes! and have no problem taking sister's hand me downs! i am so not a shopper! lol  hair is really coming out now! My niece had surgery dec 2012. She said her hair loss has slowed down a lot! Guess we just have to be patient! Congrats on all your success!! Thank you for sharing! you took the words right out of my mouth! lol Continued success!!
