Im almost 7 months post op. 1kg to goal weight and my hair started falling out at 6 months. In bunches. At this rate, another 3 months and I will have nothing left.

Hello... I had my surgery 10 months ago and I've been at my (well my doctors) goal weight for a couple months. Sounds like we have had similar success with our weight loss. I too lost quite a bit of hair (and my hair is very fine and thin so losing any was VERY noticeable). It did stop falling out a few months ago and I hope yours will too, try not to worry (easier said than done). I began taking collagen peptides in addition to the recommended vitamins when I started falling out and I think I it has helped. I was reluctant to take them because I am a vegetarian and they are not vegetarian... But I, like you was desperate. Like I said I can see lots of new growth and it stopped falling out. I assume it would have regardless of the collagen but it might be worth a try. Hopefully when my hair is back to normal I'll find a vegetarian option if I decide to continue taking it. Congrats on your weight loss... And try to not stress too much. :)
