So i started noticing lately that my hair is coming out more and more. It is not big chunks but more so than usual. I notice it in the shower. I have always been a shedder when it came to my hair but I am a little concerned. I know this can happen after WLS. Did this happen to anyone else?? Is there anything I can do about it??

I've heard of it happening a lot especially among the RNY crowd.  Have heard it will eventually stop.  May be a sign that you need to take in more protein. Shelley

Hi Amanda - I too experienced this for about 4months.  I tried to up my protein intake.  Mine was not bad but it was enough to drive me crazy because when I ran my hands thru my hair I would have a bunch of hair on my hands. At least I wear mine short. Christina

I'm really having a lot of hair loss as well.  I've just started taking Biotin.  I got mine at Walmart.  I sure hope it helps.  I have very fine hair and can't afford to keep losing it!  Good luck - Lauri
