Selfie Photo Dump Because I Can
Last May I had gastric bypass surgery and a side effect I've experienced is hair loss. Not shedding. Clumps of hair.
And before anyone starts, yes I take my bariatric vitamins every single day. Yes, I'm hitting my protein goals. No, extra biotin doesn't help. No, collagen doesn't help. No, I'm not interested in whatever snake oil you're selling.
I never considered myself to be vain but the reality is I am a little vain when it comes to my hair and decided to do something about it. So I bought a cheap, synthetic wig shortly after Christmas to play around with and practice put it on. Yes I know I fucked up with trimming the lace and you can absolutely tell but I literally don't care. I'm happy!
Tuesday I had my hair chopped off to make putting on a wig less fussy (definitely helpful for me!)
When I tell you my confidence has skyrocketed. I feel good and I'm happy 😊

Hair loss can be a daunting experience, especially after significant changes like gastric bypass surgery. It's crucial to understand the conditions that lead to this, as well as effective coping strategies. While many believe that biotin and collagen can remedy hair loss, the efficacy of these supplements can vary among individuals. A more holistic approach may include consulting professionals who can guide post-surgery regimens tailored to personal health needs. Additionally, experimenting with different hairstyles or wigs can provide a temporary solution to regain visual appeal. Educational resources and community forums can connect individuals facing similar challenges, allowing them to share experiences and support one another. Often, the key to embracing one's new look lies in the support network and understanding that beauty is found in self-acceptance, regardless of hair density or style. Emphasizing mental health, confidence boosts through personal grooming or hairstyle adjustments can enable a positive self-image. Join social media groups dedicated to hair loss experiences to connect with others, share insights, and find solace in the collective journey toward recovery and self-love. Be bold, be beautiful, and remember that you are not alone in this! #hairloss #wigs #confidence
