My Hair

I'm losing so much hair every single day and it seems to be getting worse.  Please help... if you have any tips please share.  I am scared to death that I am going to go bald.

You are not going bald.  I too have had the hair lose.  So much so that I have been afraid to wash or brush my hair.  The doctors all assure me that they have Never had anyone go bald from this surgery.  It is a combination of the anesthesia and lower amounts of vitamins and protein.  It will slow down.  Mine has lasted a very long time (I had lots of anesthesia)but I have noticed a lot of new growth and it has slowed down a lot. 

Hello,  This is a very common problem.  Make sure you are getting all your protien in.  You need a minimum of 60 grams a day.     Take care,  Ginger

Hello, I once had very thick hair before surgery, so thick that I could not put it in a rubber band. Now I have very thin hair and it continues to fall out in klumps day after day. I try to get in the correct amount of protein but sometimes I fail at that. I too am afraid that I will loose all of my hair but you can trust the folks on this board, they have been there and done that. I dont worry too much about it anymore. I have got some hair, skin, and nail vitamins. I was told that this would help. See you later......Renee

It will slow down, I promise.  Along with keeping my protein up, I also took Biotin( I bought at Walmart) and it did help.  Remember, that it is one of the side effects of wls, and not consumming enough protein.  I am 28 months out, and still have some issued with loosing my hair if my intake isn't enough.
