Hair falling out...again?

Hey guys, My hair stopped falling out about eight months out, but recently started falling out again (I am 15 mo. post op). Any ideas on what is going on? Thanks! Jean Ann 270/154/140?

Hi Jean! Since you are this far out, I would have to say it might be lack of protien. Are you getting the right amount in each day. I know for a fact that it can cause hair to fall out again. Hope this helps. Also, have you had any recent surgeries? The anesthesia will cause hair to fall out again too. Your Gastric Buddy, Jeannie

Howdie Jean Ann, the last time my hair started to fall out @ 13 months I started take Biotin with my vitamin regimned every day and haven't had a problem since. It also helps with my fingernails. Protein is a good idea also. Hope this helps take care Stacey

Thanks, for the ideas! I probably DO need to up my protein uptake. Jean Ann

I agree with the protein suggestion. Every time I slack off on the protein I would notice additional hair loss.

Yep, just start slacking off on the protein and the hair loss seems to start again....ummmm---at least for a large percentage of us! I know that Biotin is supposed to be the "cure all--hair loss prevention"..but I never saw it. JMHO...so take it for what's it's worth. Protein, Protein and more Protein was/IS the only thing that prevents my hair loss.

Ditto. I'm 19 months out and kind of been slacking on my protein, and I've just begun noticing larger clumps of hair left in the shower. And I take 2 biotin almost every day. I believe its the lack of protein, so I'm right back at it. I don't really mind the hair loss though; it's a very obvious sign of what I need to do nutitionally, so it's a good reminder. I'll be calling Nectar right after I get off line! Julie
