Hair Loss

Hi, I had the Lap Band surgery Feb 28th, 2008. I have lost 55 lbs so far. I am losing my hair though. Does any one have any suggestions to stop the hair loss? I have just started Biotin. I heard that helps. I would aprreciate any other suggestions. Thank you.. Misty

The hair loss comes from not getting enough protein! So you need to find a come protein drink to add to your diet and eat more protein like chicken. Hope this helps Gladys

Up your protien, take biotin at least 5mg , NOT mcg.... And try Biotin Shampoo and conditioner . I get it on Amazon and starter it pre RNY to sustain the hair and nails through the Surgery and post op weight loss. Hope that helps

Yes, its from the lack of protein.  Up that, you want to take in at least 50g a day.  I went to Vitamin Shoppe and got the 42g New Whey Liquid Protein shots.  They taste alright and its 2.9 ozs, zero sugar, 176 calories.  Just a suggestion.  I know I didn't want to have to nurse a 8-12 oz glass of protein shake.  So I got those, MUCH better.
