Hair Loss Help-Maybe!!

I was talking to a friend who is a hairstylist today about getting my hair trimmed because I am losing so much. She is also morbidly obese and is thinking about surgery. She told me that when we are overweight we make a lot of estrogen in our bodies and when we lose weight we are hormonally deprived. She said that may be the reason for the hair loss is the shortage of estrogen. I told her I was menopausal but she said it happens at any age because the body is losing weight and the hormones are decreasing. As we were discussing this I was running my fingers thru my hair and strands of it kept coming out. I know there is a lot of bad press about hormones but I purchased a bottle of phytoestrogen in Wal-Mart today which is a pure plant based form of estrogen which should not be bad at all. I am going to call my Dr. and start taking phytoestrogen every day. I will let everyone know how this works. I am not too optimistic but I am going to try anyway,

My only warning to this is that if you have a history of blood clots or anything like that to talk to your Dr. first. As much as I want my hair to stop falling out by the handfuls I dont want another blood clot. Just my 2 cents. -Gerriann 112 pounds gone forever!

I don't think that will work for me. Besides with WLS I am starting to lose my "man-boobs" and really don't want to reverse the process!

Hey- I need some- I think that was one of the first hings I lost- and believe you me it was the only thing that didn't get that big to begin with!! Just kidding- my doc recomends Zinc- it doesn't seem to be helping that much, but Im sticking with it for now.

I am also losing so much hair. I am scared I will be bald before I am 30. I brush my hair and the whole brush get filled and my hair is all over the place. I think I am shedding more than my cats now. I don't know what to do.
