HAIR LOSS

MY HAIR IS FALLLLINNN OUTTT HELP ME PLEASE!!

Hi Caroline,

You might want to post on the RnY board. (This is the lapband board.) There may be people who can advise you on the hair loss specific to RnY on that board.  Although, I did lose hair when I had the lapband, too. It's kind of an unfortunate side effect of WLS sometimes.

I took a lot of Biotin... like 5000 mcg a day. But it only helped to grow my hair faster. It didn't do much as far as preventing fall out.

Good luck! Hope someone has some answers for you.

Are you getting enough protein? You might have your doctor order labs so they can check your levels on other things too.

How long has this continued? If it's gone on more than a few months, have your protein level checked. If it's low start upping the protein.
