Hair Loss...

I'm starting to lose hair now too. It's not coming out in clumps or anything, but it's more than I normally lose. I have very thin hair to begin with, you can see my scalp on the top of my head. I'm really worried about this hair loss. I also heard about all the other things mentioned. And I agree that there really isn't a way to make it stop. I have an appointment this week to look into extensions and options other than wigs. I'm not ready for a wig, although I've gone to try them on. I'm just not comfortable in them. Good Luck, Suzanne

i'M POst op three months since the 24th I'm waiting to start losing my hair. I've lost 62 lbs. so far. So far , my hair is still on my head.. I'll keep you posted.. I am getting in 60 grams of protein every day (sometimes more) thanks to bariatriceating.com and their protein supplements. Taking a centrum silver twice a day and a caltrate 600 2x a day. keepin my fingers crossed. Vivi

I am losing hair too!! Most people I talk to says it starts at about 3 months post op and lasts about 3 months and starts growing back. I dont get too worked up about it since I knew there was a good chance of this happening before I had surgery. So I guess I can get thru 3 months of this if it means the weight is gonna be gone!!

Hi Diana, I was going to post the same thing today. I'm really freaking out. I have thin hair and now it's really see the scalp time. I also new as everyone else that it could happen. But It's like everything else "It won't happen to me!" I'm taking the GNC Hair and nails, but I just started taking them. Since I take the vista vit. I didn't think I had to take anything else. Well hopefully this to shall pass and we can keep up with the loss! Kerry

Diana, My hair loss hasn't been that bad but my best friend is a cosmotologist and she has suggested using Nioxin.... Maybe that will help? Hope u find something that works Bonnie

I'm taking Hair, Skin and Nails by Futurebiotics, and I haven't noticed any hair loss other than the norm. I'm getting in plenty of protein, too. Hope that helps, Jill

Mine has been coming out in clumps for about a month now. Fortunately, I have long thick hair and probably enough for about 3 or 4 people. It may seem like I'm losing more than it really is because it's long. I take biotin too because I heard it helps with the hair loss. I was telling one of my coworkers about the hair loss and she said it did not show. I think I'll continue with the biotin anyway. Mebbe without it I'd be losing more! Oh, and for what it's worth, I don't use shampoo. I started following the Curly Girl regimine 3 years ago and I wa**** with conditioner.
