hair terror..

i would appreciate advice from anyone here.....im 31, and my hair is falling out in droves... im getting ready to have WLS and im TERRIFIED of going bald and having big bald spots......please help tina

No doubt it is due to hormonal imabalances, mainly too much testosterone. Ask your doc about Spironalactone as it helps suppress the testosterone and can help with the hair growth. Dina

IF YOUR HAIR IS FALLING OUT NOW IT IS REALLY GONNA FALL OUT AFTER YOUR SURGERY. MINE STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS OUT AND LASTED TILL ABOUT 10 MONTHS OUT. IT CAME OUT BY THE HANDFULLS WHEN I WOULD BRUSH BUT WASNT NOTICED BY OTHERS. MY DOC PUT ME ON BIOTIN AND FLAXCEED, YOU COULD START THAT NOW. IM IN A SUPPORT GROUP FOR WLS IN MY TOWN AND WE WERE COMPARING WHAT DR.S DO FOR THIS MANY DR.S PUT THEIR PATIENTS ON THESE MEDS RIGHT AFTER SURGERY MINE DID NOT. THE ONES WHO DID DIDNT LOOSE THAT MUCH HAIR. WE ALSO LOOSE ALOT OF HAIR IF WE DONT GET ENOUGH PROTEIN BUT ONCE IT STARTS YOU CANT JUST START EATING PROTEIN AND THINK IT WILL STOP YOUR HAIR FALLS OUT AFTER IT HAS BEEN DEFICIENT FOR MONTHS AND IT TAKES MONTHS TO STOP. ARE U ON ANY MEDS. THAT WOULD CAUSE IT MY AUNT HAS LOST HER HAIR FROM ANTI-DEPRESSANTS. GOOD LUCK W/YOUR WLS. ANGEL
