OK, so my hair has started growing back. I noticed it a month or two ago.
So, anyone that is worried about their poor, thinning hair, take heart.

My hair was just fine, until recently. I am pretty much bald in the top and I am so upset over it.
I have an appointment with my Dr's next week. I thought I made it without losing hair but the loss is tremendous. I am taking biotin and using various oils on my scalp. I have an appt in June with a dermatologist. Until it grows back, I will have to use creative hair styles to cover the loss. Did you do anything to treat your scalp?

My suggestion is buy a wig. They are more comfortable than you might think. Due to a genetic condition, I have been wearing wigs for the last couple of years. I like being able to completely change my hairstyle whenever I feel like it. Don't go cheap, though, you'll be sorry if you do.
Pam, you are looking absolutely skinny!

My surgery is in 8 days. I had the lap band 7 years ago. I am having a revision with the sleeve. Honestly, hair loss is one of my biggest fears. I lost a lot with the lap band and it mostly grew back but it is very thin on top. I don't know if I will recover on top if I loose a lot more hair. Sounds very vain I am sure, but the fear is real.
I went through the hair loss. I started taking 10,000 of biotin within a few weeks of having surgery. My hair had gotten a lot thicker and looked amazing from the supplement. I finally started to lose hair around 3 1/2 months. When I started losing hair I began taking the biotin 2X a day. I lost gobs of it for a while. I still lose some but not nearly as much. And I already see it growing back in. I had areas that looked thinner but no bald spots. I also use a biotin shampoo and do scalp massage.
Side note: Since taking the biotin I have to shave my legs more frequently. LOL.
So there is hope for me yet?

I lost hair in prior operations. I had 2 operations in a 6 month period and my hair got really thin in the front. I'm taking Biotin now and hopefully it will help down the road. But, if I shed then I'll do a Trump and start growing it long in the backside and comb it up, over, under, and use lots of Hair Net. LOL!
Good luck to you!
