Hair Loss



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else having a problem with losing their hair? My hair has always been pretty thick so it is not noticable to others right now but it is to me. If it keeps coming out the way it has for the last couple of months I am going to be in trouble.

Do you know of anything that would help with this problem??? HELP!!! :(

I have noticed in the last couple of weeks that my hair is coming out alot more than it used to. I had not been taking my Vitamins like I should, I just always forgot. So now I am trying to be more consciencious about it. I think I will get some Biotin too, though. Whatever works!

I haven’t been banded yet but the nutritionist says that lack of Protein will cause Hair loss. Atkins makes some great Protein Drinks she says I should be drinking one daily once banded. 15grams or more protein and 5 grams or less of carbohydrates (it also has 20% biotin) Got it at Wal-Mart for $6.97. Hope this helps.

I havent had the Hair loss issue which the Dr , dietician and my hairdresser say is due to a lack of protein.... but I have a question about Biotin... is it a gel cap? And if so how does one swallow it?

The Biotin I have is dissolveable. You put it under your tongue and it dissolves. So it is easy to take. My bottle says it is 5,000 mg.

I was losing a ton of hair up to about a week ago. 3 weeks ago I started taking Biotin and silica. Last week I had a Nioxin treatment at the hair salon and bought the Shampoo, conditioner, and treatment. Now I am hardly losing anything.

I think my Hair loss was due to a really really poor diet over the summer and in the fall I fasted for 2 weeks -- twice.

The supplements seem to be working for me, but I can swallow anything right now, so size is not an issue.

Good luck.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
