Hair Loss? How Many April-ers are losing it?

How are you getting the protien? My hair is falling out too! Lisa B

My hand is up. I just started noticing it in the last few days. I have a ton of hair, so I have some to spare...but my vacuum cleaner is going to hate it!

Hi, I had surgery on April 7th and I began losing hair about 1 month ago. I've been told that with surgery, this is normal, but I hope it ends soon. SW -52lbs

Mine's falling out by the hand loads. IT'S EVERYWHERE! except my head! LOL OH well, I have relatively thick hair so perhaps it will be ok.

Mine is starting to fall out just a little more each day. It is not noticeable yet. Alison

Mine is really starting to fall out and I don't have much to spare. I am going to try Nioxin or Rogaine - I spoke to a bariatric nurse who said that WLS patients don't have to worry about stopping as the reason for hair falling out is temporary. I have to shop. I take biotin - and have to get some zinc which I heard is helpful. It worries me. Ruth

I just noticed the other day when I washed that I was pulling out handfuls of strands of hair. I have TONS of hair though, so not too worried about loosing it LOL I have plenty of spare....... Hopefully it will only last a bit though! Kay 253/191/150- goal

I had surgery on april 5th and I have noticed my hair is coming out by the handfuls and the bad thing is my hair is already very thin. My doctor told me to get all of my protein in (which I was not doing but I am now) or it will all fall out and never grow back in. I am so worried I am going to be bald.

None yet...wait a minute...I didn't have any to start with!!! Good luck to all of you...I sincerely hope it comes back in groves!

Surgery date 4/13/04 and I started noticing last week that I seem to be losing a little hair, not handfuls or anything. I've always had hair that was basically too thick so I'm actually enjoying it thinning out a little, much more manageable! I'm going to keep focusing on my protein and hope that it stops falling out on its own within a few weeks/months. Aylene lap RNY 4/13/04 277.8/215/150ish
