Someone please help. I have had MAJOR hair loss for about 6 weeks now- I mean MAJOR hair loss. It just won't stop. I am lucky that I HAD a very thick head of hair- but I am less than 1/3 of what I had. I'm getting worried. I was banded in July and have lost 64 pounds. Please advise if anyone knows what I should do. :help:

I got all my stuff at Vitamin Shoppe. I think you can get Biotin anywhere that sells vitamins. I drink Syntrax Nector Roadside Lemonade. It's a whey protein isolate. It's 24 grams of protein and only 90 calories. I love it.

I just talked to my doctor on last Wednesday... and he said it happens with rapid weight loss and not enough protein. So- he told me to start taking the vitamin Biotin and add an extra protein shake each day. May hair fall has decreased I am happy to say in such a short period of time. I truly think the Biotin is what's doing it. Try that!

ok- makes sense. I also have an issue with the wounds healing. I cut myself on Thanksgiving and it's less than 50% healed. I guess I've gotta make sure to have more protein

I THINK I'm getting enough- but I could be a bit shy. I have 1 to 2 shakes a say at 24 grams each... and then I eat protein during the day. I thought it was that too in the beginning- but it still hasn't slowed down and I have increased my input. What other bad thingscan happen with too little protein????

It's going to sound funny- but those burps will be your friends. When something gets stuck and finally goes through, it's with a burp following it for me. I get so happy now when I burp. Don;t worry about it. Those burps will provide relief soon!

Hi All- I just found your website and I was banded on July 13th. I've been stuck at 62 pounds for quite a while and wanted a little motivation. Also wanted to know if anyone else hit that stuck point yet. Xmas is hard.... actually it's all hard!

I am having the SAME problem. I have been assured by other bandsters it will stop and come back. I've been losing hair like CRAZY for 6 weeks. Thank god I HAD a full head of hair. But I'm down to a third of what I used to have. YIKES. Everyone told me to go on prenatals. It's the iron and vitamin B that's missing. And from what I can tell on the internet- it's true. I just hope it kicks in soon. It looks like a murder scene in my bathtub. It's soooo gross.

Sounds like you are in desparate need of antoher fill. Trust me- it will work. Talk to your doc.

That's really great advise- about if we got stuck before the band for any period of time we'd "scrap" the diet. It's totally true. Keep with it. You;ll keep losing. Inches count for than pounds and there's a balance period where you exchange fat for muscle

I go for a fill on Wednesday and will ask him to test my blood. I will hit the prenatals. That's makes sense. Maybe this time they won;t make me sick vs. when I was pregnant- yuck! Did your hair come back?

Wow- Be happy it only lasted for 5 minutes. I've had it worse. You feel yucky the next day- but just do what your body tells you to do. You can'y go wrong. If you crave bread in the future- the Hawaiian bread goes down pretty easily. Wheat bread binds really bad.

Did you do anything to make it stop? I thought it would stop eventually- but it's just been so long! PS- that's funny! It does look like a murder scene. It's gross. My hubby is not finding it amusing anymore!... and neither am I
