Yes it will just keep your protein intake up it took me about 6 months or
so but my hair went back to normal more or less and you can try biotin as
well

I can only speak for myself and what my Dr tells me. I must have 60-70
grams of protein each and everyday. I also take biotin. I was so afraid
of hair loss, but I only had minimal loss, due to my protein intake.

I was afraid of hair loss after surgery because my hair is very fine. I
started Biotin 5000 mcg chewable tablets before surgery and I am 9 mos out
and have had very little hair loss. I am very strict about taking all my
calcium, vitamins and b12 as well. I think they all play a part in my
success of very little hair loss.

You're hair will grow back. I had a friend who lost a lot of hair after
surgery and her hair grew back curly! I was afraid like you when I was
loosing mine but it grew back. I think the secret to minimal hair loss is
protein. The body distributes the protein it gets and decides that places
like your heart, liver, brain, etc. are more important than your hair so it
puts hair at the bottom of the list for protein.

I had the same situation. Keep up the protein and be patient. It will grow
back. Now I just deal with MPB. (male pattern baldness, bummer ) ;)))

I take my liquid vitamins, biotin, geletan capsules, B12, calcium and Vit D
every day...I am five months out and have had no hair loss. I wash it
everyday and use Pantene. I also try to get my protein in and still drink
two fruit flavored protein drinks a day which is 30 grams, plus I take my
liquid vitamins in a half serving of orange protein so that is another 7
and a half which already totals 37.5 grams, not counting what I get from
food. Good luck

I went thru the exact thing you described. I am taking all my vitamins,
including 2 biotin 1000 mg, and a Super B-Complex. I had my surgery in
Sept., hair began falling in January. Began growing back in April, have
tons of new hair today, and yes it has a different texture, than my silky
hair before, it has more of wavy texture. Good luck!

I am 18 months out and lost so much hair! I started taking a multi in the
AM over the counter prenatal in the PM and 5,000 mg. of Biotin, after four
months my hair looks great! Don't worry!

i lost about 1/2 of my hair after gastric bypass and luckily i had very
thick hair or i probably would have been bald. make sure you get in enough
protein. i tried all the supplements they say help but never noticed a
difference. it WILL come back! i am 3 years out and about 6 months ago i
can say my hair finally looked healthy and full. hang in there it will get
better!!!!
