Hair Question from newly post-op

I've been reading the boards for a few months now and have seen a lot of posts about products to help minimize hair loss. Now that I am two weeks out, I am wondering if I should be incorporating anything extra into my vitamin regimen to help with hair loss. TIA! Hugs, Nancy

biotin & lots of protein. some people will also say zinc, however you do need to ask your doc before you take extra zinc. i haven't really noticed any new hair... but i am losing LOTS! my problem may be worse because i have an elevated testosterone level - dammit! Deb open RNY 3/5/04 -82

I am on Premarin - I wonder if that will help or hinder.....

Nancy, I'm 11months post-op 370lbs down to 214lbs, and I never had the hair loss problems that so many complain of. I did keep my protein very high, 95grams per day, and I took in a good bit of gelatin in the form of sugar free jello. I stayed on Promote protein drinks and used Fructis hair products and well as a leave in "hair strengthening" spray conditioner. (my wife's suggestion) Hoping you the best, Dx
