I take Biotin and Omega 3 everyday. Also, I've heard zinc helps. Make sure you're getting enough protein. Hope this helps..... Seanna

This is a normal response to the rapid weight loss and decreased intake of nutrients from the stomach restriction. For myself, I have dealing with hair loss for about 3 1/2 months now. I work to get in about 80 grams of protein a day and it is starting to help. As long as you get in the requied protein and vitamins, it will slow down over time. hang in there. Shelly

You need to contact your nutritionist and or doctor. The lapband is designed for slow weight loss. You shouldnt have any hair loss.

Use essential oils. Omega 3-6-9. Or eat oily based fish. Such as salmon. Good source of protein and very high in the oils.
