At this rate, I will be skinny......but bald!

Arghhhhhh! My hair is falling out and I didn't have alot of hair to begin with! How long can I expect this to last? Kathleen Maybe a wig?

Kathleen, I went to the health food store and bought some "Biotin". I take one a day and it has slowed my hair loss. Mine is coming back now. It's normal but Biotin really helps. Kay

I know you are kiddin' about the wig but there are some really cute ones out there on Ebay, hehe. A good friend of mine is on chemo and radiation therapy and got sick of her bald head. I know my day is coming! I heard you just kinda have to wait it out til it stops. Good Luck! Molly 252/215/135

Everyone I talk to says they have lost a little, but eventually it all comes back, you will see new growth, Biotin really works well. Don't panic, its your body changing, it will level out eventually. Candice

Hi Kathleen, I have to ditto on the Biotin. I take two Biotin 2500 from GNC. I know I am not out of surgery as long as you are but my hair keeps growing and that has to be the reason. Best Wishes Karen Dr. Aceves 12/20/04 314/254

Thanks everyone! I went to GNC tonight and got some Biotin 2500. You say you take two a day, Karen? Whatever it takes, I'll do it. I also went grocery shopping and bought alot of high protein food. I'm just amazed at how much hair I loose in a day! It's so bad that I only comb my hair in the morning when I style it. And then I use a wide tooth comb and I STILL loose alot! Loosing my hair has been my biggest fear since having this surgery. Kathleen

I acctually have alopecia, and have been to several hair specialists. I was told by a bariatric surgeon in phoenix that hairloss post surgery can be atributed to not enough protein. I hope that it works out for you. The funny thing for me is that my hair seemed to grow better after surgery. Good luck Kristie
