A 10-pound hairball was removed from an 18 year old girl's stomach. She was complaining of stomach pains and vomiting, and also lost 40 pounds in 5 months. Turns out she ate her hair and caused a giant hair ball to form in her stomach. After getting the hair removed she recieved help so she could stop eating her hair.
