Hair loss - Anyone?

[Liftingchic 0]

I am 6 months postop, always had really thick hair but did come out while brushing or messing with it. Now its falling out in Handfulls! I take my daily vit, calicum, fish oil and 3000mg of Biotin. My daily calories are around 1500 and easily get 100g of Protein a day. I am frustred with it and worried its going to keep getting worse...

I'm also 6 months post op and my hair looks absolutely awful!!! It was thin to begin with and now you can see my scalp.....I'm too young to be seeing my scalp. BUT, I have lost 70 lbs. so I guess I can live with the balding......as long as it's temporary (I hope). I do notice little short hairs...about an inch in length now - starting to pop up all over. If I pull my hair into a pony tail....my whole head looks fuzzy because the short hairs stick through. I can only hope it's on it's way back..... :thumbup:

That's called the "fuzzy chick" look, and yes, it generally means that your hair is coming back. Yeah for you!!

Also get your levels checked ask your doc. I was paranoid about the Hair loss and have a thin spot there before surgery. I have anemia and just found out my Vitamin D and B12 levels are extremely low. If I wouldnt have seen Dr. Oz and asked about D levels I wouldnt have known. I am taking Iron supplement with doc rec, B12 1000 mcg, Biotin 100mg and vit D and primary doc gonna monitor closely. So get with your regular doc I would say vs surgeon. I was taking Centrum adult chewables faithfully and that wasnt enough. So I urge u to get with your doc and ask him/her about it
