Thanks!!
I was hoping it would be something I would avoid since I hadnt heard of it till after surgery but I guess Ill just have to pack in more protein and 'enjoy' the ride.
Strange thing is my nails have been AMAZING since surgery, they grow and dont break, everyone is jealous of them. I guess I atleast get that to go with the hair covered clothes
Thanks again

Topic: RE: Surgery or Spring?
Are you eating enough protein? I think that's why some of us experience the hair loss at the beginning of our WLS journeys--because of the limited diet all of a sudden. Maintaining our hair and nails is not as important to our bodies as other functions. All the nutrition goes to those more important areas. It usually starts about 4 months post-op, which sounds about right based on your surgery date. The good news is that it's just temporary. Sooner or later, it stops falling out AND the hair that you lost will also grow back.

So, my hair is falling out. I thought that was a by-pass side effect but can it happen to lap-banders too?
Part of me thinks (or is trying to convince myself, not sure) that its just spring shedding but dear GOD its a lot of hair coming out of my head!
I was going to ask at Monday's meeting but got a bit distracted after volunteering to do the lap-band talk.
Thanks for the help!
