Hair Loss...

So who is loosing all their hair and who knows how to make is stop.. I eat my protien and take all my pills.. Help.. Ciao for now.. Diana 279/202/137

Losing here there and everywhere---but I have really thick hair and can use a summer thinning out---and actually have had 2 people in the last week---that don't know I had surgery--and one a stranger--tell me what beautiful hair I have---- So guess I am happy with loss so far---weight and hair! LOL and I am taking all my supplements too!Thank goodness for thick hair!

Diana, This seams to be a question that many people are concerned with, everyone seam to have the answer. Many people on these board say to take biotin, they even say how the can't live without it, yet in their next sentence they say their hair is still falling out "I don't get it!" Because I had heard some much about the hair loss thing I asked my surgeon 1 week after surgery (my first post-op visit) what I should do to prevent hair loss, because I didn't want to come back in three months bald-headed (lol) He told me to take over-the-counter prenatal vitamins (I take 2 per day), Diana I haven't had any hair loss at all, to be honest my hair is getting really thick and long. So, give it a try I hope this helps!!!

I too am loosing my hair, very thin to begin with and don't want to loose anymore. I have been taking all of my vitamins,calcium, and biotin. Nothing seems to help. I asked my nutritionist last week and she told me it was due to the affects of surgery and loss of protein but not to worry she said it would only happen during the 3-6 months post-op. I have lost 83 lbs since 3/10/05 I think that might have something to do with it as well.

Losing here too! I've heard everything under the sun from eat more protein to shampoo's to pills, however most say, It's gonna happen regardless. I have a friend who is almost a year out and she lost too but said hers is growing back. HUGS Kim

Kim, Wow!! you look awsome. So different already!! I'm totally jealous of your hair. Mine is falling out like crazy and It looks like i'll soon be bald. Just wanted to let you know how much your facce has changed already. Congrats!! Kerry

Thank you Kerry! Mine is coming out, but luckily I had thicker hair to start with. I notice a brushfull when I bru**** and it definitely clogs the drain in the shower LOL Hugs Kim

Yep, losing so much hair I've clogged the drain at my house and my parents house. It will come back as son as your body regulates and normalizes. Everyone that I know that is year out, has it all coming back. Everyone told me that if you load up on protein before surgery it can help, but of course I heard that 1 week before surgery, not really enough time to load up.

Loseing here too I had heard of everything from taking biotin before surgery and taking it after. I am fortunate though --- I have pretty thick hair. It hasn't affected me too much and within 1 week of being 4 months out so it want be much longer I hope. Hang in there it will be better! Becky

Hi, I don't know if I am losing hair or not. I have really thin fine hair so I shaved it all off about a month ago and wear really cute hats and a sassy wig that nobody believes is a wig. Have learned to apply makeup a bit differently since I sometimes wear the bald head...LOL! In fact this morning my DH shaved my head for me....now that is love! I figured all my life I have cared what people think about the way I look and have felt shame for my weight....now I just think they can kiss my bald head if they don't like it!!! Roxi 285/230/130
