I keep having hair fall out by the handful :( Every morning I have at least two hand fulls and when u look at me you can see a reseeding hair line! Does any one have any suggestions on what to do? This is very devastating as I used to have such think hair I had all I could do to put it up and now its so thin it scares the poop out of me :(

Went through that too. Talk to your dr right away. My dr put me on a 3 month Vitamin regimen and it helped. My hair is starting to grow back.

I was told the same thing, more Vitamins, more Protein and that I could try Biotin if I wanted. It's scary to see so much hair fall out...

Ok, so I know this is going sound super weird, but I've had this problem before I've found Biotin helps but through a Mexican friend I found out that if you crush up birth control pills and mix them in with your Shampoo it help with the hair loss and allows hair to grow quicker. I'm no expert but it has worked on me, it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. I've found a lot of friend who no longer use their pills and they give them to me.

Just a thought. ;)

I have PCOS so the cause of my Hair loss is an excess of androgens. It got so bad i had bald spots on my head. The drain would be backed up from all the hair loss in a single shower. I currently take spirunolactone (sp?) Which blocks androgens, taking Biotin and i also use Bosley Hair Care for thinning hair. I had my Vitamin D levels checked and they were low... which causes hair loss. My Dr. Put me on Vitamin D one pill a week for 12 weeks, then follow with a pharmacy Vitamin D supplement daily. My hair has stopped falling out but it doesnt seem to be growing back... :(

I think this happens to all of us. The beat that worked for me was making sure to not put anything into my mouth that didn't contain Protein, Biotin helps a lot and also my Dr prescribed pre-natals and a trim. It has worked wonders, hair is even healthier than pre-band. But don't worry its normal.

Where do you get birth control pills from for your hair and how did someone figure that out?

Its not birth control. Its called Spironolactone. Its a DHT receptors blocker. Google it. I notoced that my hair is growing back :) make sure that your dr checks your creatin leavels at it can affect kidney function

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
