Hi There!

I'm not sure when you had your surgery, but the Anesthesia they use to put you to sleep when you have an operation can sometimes have that effect. I went to a dermatologist about 6 months after my band and he told me it is quite normal to have some temporary Hair loss during the first 6 months after surgery and also when your body is losing weight and going through so much change. It is temporary...sure enough my hair started to grow back in. Hang in there!!

I lost about half my hair four months after surgery due to the anesthesia. Then a few months later it fell out in handfuls again due to the rapid weight loss. Fortunately, I had thick hair -- now I have thin hair. It is growing in very, very slowly and making my hair stick out funny. :phanvan

The only thing that really worked some is Biotin. Scientific studies showed it works to some degree. More Protein did not work -- I was eating plenty while losing and started drinking Protein for my hair. Nioxin (the Shampoo and treatment) did not help and I used it for several months.

So...time and a Multivitamin that has Biotin. And more time. Of course, my age is slowing the process, too, I'm sure. Hope your hair starts growing back soon. It will grow back.

Ditto on Biotin. That's what I've heard. Good luck, and don't worry it should grow back. Besides, worry may cause Hair loss. Just kidding.

I am 4 months post op and starting taking Biotin about a month ago -- my Hair loss is definately slowing down. I am not sure if it's the biotin or if my shedding phase is over.........nothing ventured, nothing gained though -- the bariatric dietician told me to take 2 tablets daily. You can just buy it at the drugstore with the other vitamins........There's no way I could add more Protein to my diet, but someone reccommended high protein Shampoo -- haven't looked into that yet, but it may be worth a try. I think that once the hair is ear marked to be shed though there is not much you can do to stop it. You just have to prevent further loss.......break the cycle!
