Anybody still experiencing hair loss?

My hair loss started out almost 3 months to the day after my surgery which was 8/25/05. It lasted for approximately 4 months then almost completely stopped. Well, it started again at approx 10 months out and is still falling out. I take all my vitamins, drink my fluids, get at least 80 to 100 grams of protein a day, eat a variety of foods including fruits and veggies. I only take my iron about every other day due to horrid constipation of which I still can't hardly manage even with 3 stool softeners and 3 Tablespoons of benefiber each day. My last blood work at 6 months out showed taht my blood counts were normal, so I was no where near being anemic which I know can cause hair loss in some people. I am a slow loser, as I've lost only 96 pounds and I started out at 300lbs. I am almost in tears about the hair loss since I have thin hair to begin with and I thought all the hair loss issues were behind me and I know that everyone else talks about how theirs only lasted a couple of months. Well, here I am almost a year out and my hair is still falling out. I'm seeing my surgeon on Friday for my one year check and plan to talk to him about all of this, but I wanted to check with others who are a year out or more to see if I'm the only one who has gone thru this being a year out (or more). Anybody???

i am three and a half years post op and still have times my hair comes out by the handfuls. it never did really come back in good in my temples anyway.

Hi, Have you ever tried taking Biotin (over the counter at walmart)?Mine is 1500 mcg and I have been taking it since before my rny. My hairdresser says she can tell a big difference and even recommends it to her other clients that aren't wls patients. It seems like even when I was overweight, my hair was the only thing I had going for me and I was horrified at the thought of losing it, so when I got approved for my wls I started taking it 1-2 times a day. Good luck Georgina
