i need help! i'm starting...
i need help! i'm starting to loss my hair . it started about two weeks ago right after i had to have my ankle pinned because i broke it. is there any vitamins out there to stop this or what. i try to get all my protein in and i take all my vitamins . could the stress of the second surgery do this also? also will the hair grow back?
INCREASE YOUR PROTEIN AN EXTRA AMOUNT & TAKE BIOTIN 3 TIMES A DAY RELIGIOUSLY. ONCE YOU SEE YOUR HAIR GROWING BACK & IN GOOD CONDITION, YOU CAN CUT BACK TO 2 BIOTIN A DAY & THEN WHEN EVERYTHING IS HEALTHY, BACK TO 1 PILL A DAY AS A MAINTENANCE DOSAGE. IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO BUILD UP, BUT IT WILL WORK.
YES, IT'S MOST PROBABLE THAT THE 2nd SURGERY CAUSED YOUR HAIR LOSS &, YES, IT WILL GROW BACK. YOUR BODY JUST DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH NUTRIENTS TO HANDLE THE ADDED STRESS OF 2 MAJOR SURGERIES ON AS FEW CALORIES, ETC, AS WE EAT ... YOU NEED TO GIVE IT "EXTRA" AMOUNTS TO OVERCOME THE STRESS & SIGNAL TO YOUR BODY THAT IT CAN HANDLE "FEEDING" YOUR VITAL ORGANS AS WELL AS YOUR "NON-ESSENTIAL" BODY PARTS SUCH AS HAIR, NAILS & SKIN CONDITION. YOUR BODY LOOKS AT IT LIKE ... DO I FEED HER HEART & KIDNEYS OR HER HAIR & NAILS? ... WELL, THE HEART & KIDNEYS WIN OVER THE HAIR & NAILS BECAUSE YOUR BODY IS SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THEY ARE NEEDED TO KEEP THE BODY ALIVE. SO, YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOUR BODY "EXTRA" NUTRIENTS WHEN SEVERELY STRESSED SO THE BODY CAN TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.
I BEGAN MEGA DOSING ON VITAMINS/MINERALS, SUBLINGUAL B-12, BIOTIN, ETC, A MONTH PRIOR TO WLSuargery. NOW, 3 MONTHS POST OP, I DON'T HAVE THOSE NORMAL SURGERY-RELATED PROBLEMS.
IF YOU HAVE LONG HAIR, CUT IT. THAT GIVES THE BODY LESS TO HAVE TO HANDLE IN BRINGING YOUR HAIR BACK TO A HEALTHY STATE.
GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

I WAS ON bariatriceating.com & RAN ACROSS THE Q&A SECTION TO MS SUSAN. SHE SAYS THAT INCREASING YOUR PROTEIN, ESPECIALLY WITH LOW OR NO-FAT PROTEIN PRODUCTS (SHAKES, PUDDINGS, DRINKS, ETC) WILL STOP & REVERSE HAIR LOSS VERY QUICKLY.
I WAS ALSO READING ABOUT VITAMINS BECAUSE I'VE BEEN ON FLINTSTONE'S & IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE VITAMINS MADE JUST FOR GASTRIC BYPASS PATIENTS WITH OUR MALABSORBTION ISSUES IN MIND ... OPTISOURCE (WALGREEN'S) & VISTA VITAMINS/MINERALS (bariatriceating.com) JUST TO NAME TWO. BECAUSE THEY ARE EASILY ABSORBED, THE ADDED NUTRIENTS HELP THE BODY TO MAINTAIN IN HEALTHY CONDITION YOU HAIR, SKIN & NAILS.
ALSO, I'VE BEEN ON 1,500 mcg 3 TIMES A DAY OF BIOTIN SINCE A MONTH PRIOR TO SURGERY & THAT HAS HELPED ME AS I HAVEN'T HAD ANY HAIR LOSS & I'M ALMOST 4 MONTHS POST OP.
NOT THE MOST POPULAR SOLUTION, BUT CUTTING YOUR HAIR SHORT GIVES YOUR STRESSED BODY LESS TO MAINTAIN & COULD HELP AS WELL.
HOPE THIS HELPS, MS HEATHER ... GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK
YOU CAN GET BIOTIN ANYWHERE, MS ELIZABETH ... WAL*MART (REXALL BRAND), WALGREENS ... VERY INEXPENSIVE ... 3 TIMES A DAY (YES, THE BOTTLE SAYS ONCE A DAY); REMEMBER OUR MALABSORBTION ISSUES & THE FACT THAT YOUR HAIR IS ALREADY IN BAD SHAPE. IT'LL TAKE A WHILE BUT IT WILL WORK.
OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED ZINC, BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED THAT SO I CAN'T GIVE AN OPINION ON IT.
GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK
