Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 You will lose hair, for each person it varies. My hair is very fine and thin without the WLS, then it did get thinner. I noticed losing a lot about 2 months out until about 6 months post op, then I started noticing new growth. It is still thinner than it was but it's okay, I'll take the thinner hair anyday over the big unhealthy body. Take care. Donna J. Lazo wrote: Am I going to really lose my hair?

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 The hair loss thing really scared me. I had my surgery in December and really noticed the hair loss about a month ago. So I would have been 4 months out. I have very thick hair and the amount I was loosing scared me but the surgery was well worth it. -- In gastric-bypass-support-kaiser-patients , Lazo wrote: > > > Am I going to really lose my hair? > > How long does this process last? > > > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 This happened to me too. My doctor prescribed Biotin (vitamin for hair and nails). I also had trouble with my gums bleeding. But after taking them for 2 months, everything is better. I also had to get shots twice a week (b-12). I am still getting shots once a week now. I still can't eat red meat. But that is okay because I really wanted to stop eating red meat anyway. So I eat chicken (baked and teriyaki chicken jerky). hmmm I am 9 out and loving every minute of my weight loss. da6bearz wrote: The hair loss thing really scared me.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 We should note - hair loss post-bariatric is both more noticeable and has a bigger psychological impact for women than for men, and it is TEMPORARY for all. If you are a male and you do not have a history of male pattern baldness, odds are very high that all you will experience is temporary thinning which is discernible by touch by probably not by sight. How temporary? Maybe two months. I sincerely hope that closes the topic for the men. By the same token, although the impact seems to be greater for women, so does the benefit of biotin.
