Sarah- Welcome to the July board! My hair loss started around month 3 and it's just started to slow down....thank goodness! My hair wasn't too thick to begin with so I can certainly tell that it's much thinner. Even my hair dresser said it was just hanging! SO...I got a better cut for my thinner hair and I'm trying to be sure I'm getting in all my protein, vitamins and water (not only for my hair, but for my health!!). I've been told that taking Biotin may help, but so far I've not done anything "special" and it seems to be going away on it's own. Christina S

Hey Jan Thank for the reply, I hope that my hair is coming back in, but I am still losing a good amount of hair daily! How much protein are you gtting in with food alone? I try to get it through food alone, but I know that I am not getting in the required 80+ grams I need. Thanks again, Sarah

I started experiencing hair loss about 3-4 months post-op, now I'm almost 6 months post-op and can say it's slowed down quite a bit, in fact my hairdresser says it's starting to grow back in as she can see lots of short hairs coming out. I don't do anything special, and I'm not allowed to drink protein drinks anymore, so I just continue to eat protein first at every meal, and also if I snack (which isn't that often). Jan

Hi Everyone! I'm having some trouble and was hoping for some advice. Before my surgery, I was taking wellbutrin xl - 300 mg and zoloft - 100 mg. I decided that as of the day I had surgery, I wasn't going to take any medication anymore, and just stopped. About the 3rd month I realized I needed some help and started taking wellbutrin again. After several attempts to get the correct kind of wellbutrin and the correct dosage from my pcp, we finally got it right. I have felt much better. But, I am finally ready to admit that I probably shouldn't have gotten off of the zoloft. I'm wondering if any of you are taking zoloft, and if so, did you have to change the type and dosage after surgery? I've been stalled on my weight loss since before Christmas, and am afraid that going back on zoloft will make really make my weight loss stall, if not gain. If anyone has any information orinput on the zoloft, please let me know. I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks! Deanna

I have been losing weight none stop since surgery and I think I hit my first stall. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so what did you do to get through it and get your weighloss going again.
