Never been on this site before but it seems like a great place to ask this question. I have been banded for 4 months (12/20) like many others My weight loss has been rapid (65 lbs lost so far) I noticed I was losing more hair then normal almost 3 months ago. I am getting over the grams of needed protein daily, I take all vitamins daily plus biotin and zinc that my doctor told me to take. The lose hasn't slowed down much and my hair is def thinner I have even resorted to buying a special expensive hair shampoo for thinning hair. Is this happening with anyone else and will it stop soon???
-
I'll try that too lol I'm taking everything else to help why not one more thing lol! I hope the shampoo helps too
-
Yes my hair is thin too and I hve been very nervous too my doc said take biotin and zinc which I have been doing for about a month now but it's still Falling out like crazy. Someone told me to get bosley hair shampoo for thinning hair and swears by it so I did that also

I started losing mine 3 months ago. It's started 2 months after surgery. I drink body fortress I dunno If it's any good but I also have never heard someone say that the quality of protein depends on what your body will absorb. I have a doc appoint tomorrow and will ask that question. I have lost a lot of hair and M very nervous also because it's been 3 months and hasnt slowed down any. Hope it gets better soon

Can Not Getting Enough Protein In Diet, Lead To No Weight Loss??
cwal84 replied to newme0617's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It may not delay the weight loss but it can be a huge reason for hair loss. The shakes are not my favorite I drink body fortress chocolate 52g of protein in 2 scoops so I pretty much get what I need daily for breakfast then all the rest throughout the day is bonus lol. It is very important to get the protein in. I have to block my nose take a sip of shake then a sip of water but I force it down =) -
First Fill Scheduled Thursday... Does It Hurt? How Does If Feel? Advice?
cwal84 replied to Carolinacrumb's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
It doesn't hurt but sometimes there is an uncomfortable feeling of them trying to find the port. It doesn't hurt it's just odd. I would not look at the needle it can be intimidating. My doctor wouldn't let me see if for my first 2 fills. You will feel a quick prick them you won't feel anything. The worst part for me we when she was pushing around on my port trying to find it. Hope it goes well =) -
Thanks guys mines been falling out for 3 months I want it to stop soon!! I'm taking 5000 milligrams of biotin twice a day lol still no help yet!! Everyone says I won't be bald but how can I not if this much is coming out! I heard that once it starts to come back sometimes there is a curl and it's thick and beautiful so that is what I am waiting for!!!

When Did You Realize That You Lost Weight?
cwal84 replied to JanellesMommy8210's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I had a hard time noticing my loss until I did a side by side photo. I was banded on 12/20 other people started noticing in February but like I said myself it took a side by side picture to really make me see a difference. =)
