Hair loss

I have a friend that had WLS. She told me to take 5000 micrograms of B12 a day to stop hair loss. It worked for her. I have been taking 5000 micrograms ever since my surgery 4-25-07 and have had no hair loss yet. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this works. I figured I have nothing to lose and I want to keep my hair. Jan

I'm going to try it. I am taking B12 anyway. I'll check to see how much I'm getting. Thanks for the suggestion. Marcia

It's worth a try. I buy the 2500 MCG SL at Walmart they are like $6.00 When I went for my checkup at 3 months the doc didn't seem to think it would hurt. And I am almost 5 months out and no hair loss yet. Let me know how you do. Jan

I take that same amount of b12 a day and sadly, it didn't work for me as far as not losing hair. mercifully, the hair loss has slowed down considerably.
