Hair Loss

I had RNY 3 months ago and am starting to experience the hair loss and thining hair.  I am trying to up my protein and already take 5000 mg of Biotin and am getting shampo today.  Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Up your protein as much as possible because the fact that you are getting a reduced amount in your daily intake is why it is thinning. You might not see a difference for close to 3 months because that is how long it takes to get the new hair to grow.

Sounds to me like you are doing everything you can.  As long as you get enough protein, it should even out.

In addition to the Biotin and the shampoo, I also took the daily recommended dose of Zinc and used women's Rogaine.  I bought the Target brand which was about $18 for a 3 month supply.  My hair loss only lasted about 2 months and my hair is definitely thicker now than it was before.  I also tried to get 90 grams of protein a day.  Best of luck.
