CHILL!!!!! At about four months I started noticing hair loss mostly in the

shower - you know on my hands as I rinsed my hair. By no later than 6

months I noticed it had stopped. My hairdresser says there was never any

significant change in my hair - and I don't have a huge amount of thick

hair! Don't worry until there is something to worry about! Everyone is

different - you may lose a little - you may lose a lot - and I don't think

there is really anything you can do about it.

You're three months out, and almost 100 lbs down.... I'd expect the

hair to come out My hair has started to come out in clumps, but

I'm okay, so far, but I'm thinking strongly about it. I have the

worlds thickest hair, so to lose a few handfuls will do me good.

Well, I've told myself that, but now that it is happening, I don't

want it to. I too have been very good about taking the vitamins,

except for when I was having stomach problems. I know how you feel,

because I'm right there with you... My friend who had the RNY claims

that her surgeon tells her to eat plenty of protein to help the hair

loss, so I'm eating more protein, I figure that it can't hurt.

Welcome to our hairless MGB world, !!

Yes, this is exactly how it started for me. Mine really became

noticeable in the 4th month and hasn't stopped yet! I take all the

supplements, too. I really notice the hair left on my hands after I

rub mousse in. But I'd rather be this size with less hair than big

and have lots of hair! It is only temporary, they tell us. I sure

hope so! I'm ready to see how it will grow back in.

LOL, a friend of mine came down from MD today and we went to lunch.

She's 5'5 " , about 300 lbs. I told her about my hair loss, and she

made the comment that it are too many trade off's, I told her that

I'd much rather lose all of my hair than be as big as I was.

don't forget Manda, she is talking from her pain, let her say those things

this is when my hair loss started also. It lasted about 6 weeks and now I

have tons of little fluffy new hair growing in. I never came out in clumps.

Everything I have read seems to say that some hair loss is inevitable no

matter what you do. I t WILL come back!!!

I am HAPPY to report I went and had my hair cut and tinted, though i was

scared and warned the hairdresser we might end up with me bald...but I was

FINE....in fact, she said I lost NO hair during the process..not even the

standard few! SO I am SOO lucky!

Hope you are too!

WOW! What timing... I too had my operation on 3/8 and have been

taking all of the prescribed protein, etc... and just yesterday I

told my husband, well, I guess I'm not going to get by without hair

loss, all of a sudden noticable amounts of hair are coming out in my

hands... I can't see the loss of hair on my head yet, but I can sure

see more hair on my hands when I wash my hair, etc... I guess the 3

month mark is truly the beginning of the hair loss cycle.

I too have a big head (at least my husband has told me that for

years) and I hate to loose my hair, but I guess it will pass after a

few months.

Let me know how it goes for you.

Oh, I forgot to tell you all. I cut my hair too. It is shoulder length and it

is RED. Well, that was a mistake but I don't have the money for my hair guy to

straighten it out right now. I probably won't keep it short. It doesn't seem

to be any eaier or is any easier to manage. I just wanted to do it to do it. I

dunno... we shall see. *grin*

So, when you all see me at the support meeting, you will know who I am. I don't

know if I'm going to bring any clothes. Not many people are at my sizes. If

anyone is interested in size 8 clothes, let me know and I'll bring them to

Durham, if not, Salvation Army will get them. I DO want to bring my two nice

dresses down if anyone needs a gown for the Christmas Banquet. Then again, if

no one wants these sizes, I " m not going to bother with it. Let me know.
