Anyone Still Losing Hair?

Is anyone out there still losing hair? I have lost so much hair since my surgery and it doesn't seem to stop! Any suggestions?? Kathy 317/165/140

My initial hair loss stopped at around 10 months. These days, it will fall out for a couple of weeks, stop, then fall back out. I don't know if I've gotten lazy with protein (I don't think I do...my lunch is always packed full of it) or my vitamins (a lot more plausible), but my hair just keeps on shedding whenever it feels like it.

Hi Kathy! Nope not loosing hair. Actually for me it is very dry. I get ALL my fluids and vitamins every day but I notice my skin is also alot drier. I only went thru a small time period where I lost hair! Janette RNY 7-13-04 363/143 - 220 lbs

Even before I had surgery I shed alot, for a while after surgery it went from alot to a tremendous amount of hair loss. Now I'd say I'm back to normal amount. Occasionally it will taper off to next to nothing and then wham! lots of shedding. I figure it's just something I'll live iwth the rest of my life. ~Tanja

Well I lost the majority of my hair before I had wls. I went on atkins and didn'****ch my protein intake. It caused BIG TIME hair loss, much of which never grew back. I don't know if it didn't grow back because of age-related hormone changes or what. Since my hair was always ridiculously thick - way TOO much hair, it wasn't too bad. So my hair was thinner going into surgery. I did experience some postop hair loss, which stopped and I've had some regrowth. I recently start working for my surgeon (after being home 15+ years) and I eat WAY less now because I don't graze at all. I am experiencing some hair loss which I would expect under the cir****tances, since I've lost 27 lbs since 9/1 when I began working. The only advice I can offer is to take your vites, and try as much as you can to watch your protein levels to go with the flow.... Irene -161
