Vitamin A and Hair loss

I am 4 years out and have been struggling with hairloss ever since surgery.  I lost a ton of my once beautiful mane after surgery and it never grew back and looked thin and fragile.  I figured this was the price I had to pay for the amazing gift I received, so I lived with it.  Then I was watching the Dr. Oz show about Women and Hair Loss and he said the too much Vitamin A can cause hairloss.

Light goes off!  I cut down my Vitamin A to a couple of times a week and... I don't know if its coincidental... but my hair is growing back and is much fuller!

Don't just take my word for it, check with your Doc first.  

Also I'm using the Amazing 10 spray, it's expensive, but works great!

use zinc, biotin , prenatal vtamin are so good for growing hair fast . put castor oil ,cocunutoil in your scout. get b12 shots every month stay away frm chemical

 

I just had a revision  RNY but he reroute my intestine and remove my pyloric vale which i similar to ds on 12/16 with Dr Greenbaum.

how much weight did you loose in 6 month? i lost so far 23 lb. but i had gained 1 lb because i was sick and i couldn't eat or drink anything. im hoping to have off 70lb by july 1,2014

 

Did you get ERNY? If so it'd help if you put that in your signature. 26lb in 6 months sounds OK for a revision.

I got a DS.  And I am grateful every single day!!!  I've gained back less than 10 lbs in 4 years and I feel really good!

My question was to Yvettetas as she said she had her pyloric valve removed.

I was a "lightweight" and was 241 when I started, so that might make a difference, I don't know.  In the beginning it comes off fast, I lost a total of 90 lbs. in about 11 mos.

Well, that's interesting about the A.  It's the one vitamin I have never been able to get up to where I want it.  I will now stop trying.  I never lost any hair and still need mine thinned during hair cuts.  I've always gotten in at least 90 grams of protein since day one, usually over 140 per day. 

Hey Sheanie, long time no hear!!!  How are you?

Were there any studies to back up Dr. Oz's assertion? I trust him about as far as I can throw my house. I am not saying it isn't true, I just have to have back-up.

All that being said, too low of vitamin A can cause night blindness and worse so if my numbers were low, I would have to pick.  I take 50,000ius of A a day but I have never lost any hair. I might feel differently if I did.
