Hairloss.......your experience!!

[Meggie]

How significant is the hairloss that people have been experiencing?? I have recently been reading a few posts about this. Is it just your hair that gets thinner generally or do people lose huge clumps of hair???? I know everyone's experiences will be different but would be good to hear your thoughts!!!

Thanks

It usually just gets thinner, I don't know anyone who's lost clumpsMine's gone a lot thinner, but it is still thickish

Gets thinner for me it started at 6 weeks and has only just finished at 8 months but I had masses of very thick hair so although its odd being so much thinner it was copable with.

Cant remember wat the name of the product is but Caroline1061 has been taking something since her bypass and this has prevented any hair loss at all.
Anyway u r like me we have a mass of hair even if we do lose some we will be ok, in fact i often have to get my hair layered big time to thin it out so if it comes out naturally will save me on a hair cut lol x

Haha I was thinking the same thing! My hair is always too thick!

Didnt lose any - think it was due to Silica 2500 which I started taking a month prior to surgery. I did a fair amount of research prior to taking this on websites in the US where there are lots more post bypassers posting than here in the UK and they swore by it and it worked for me. Any decent healthfood shop will stock it

Mine started coming out at around 4mths and stopped again just after 5 months, i was on zinc capsules after surgery which i think are supposed to help and started on the sillica when it started falling out im not sure if this helped or not as my finger nails are the worst theyv'e ever been!! having said that the hairloss was never noticable and just came out in my hairbrush.

Mine started about 3-4 months post op... and i isnt so bad now... but still comes out.

I have fine hair... so i noticed it thinning at the front... but unless you knew me, and i pointed it out, you couldnt tell.


I must admit, at first I was very worried it would end up leaving me with bald spots... but my OH assured me he would still love me, and i could always buy a wig lol

Thanks for sharing ladies, I think hair is a big concern for me. It's good to know that it isn't necessarily very noticeable
