Okay I have had all my blood work done, and the doctor said that my Protein levels are great as well as my Vitamin levels. I get enough protien everyday, but I am still loosing hair. I mean I can make a wig with whats falling out. :(

Your body has had a shock. It will take time to fix it. hair is dead so putting things on it doesn't work. It can make it look fuller.

Anytime we lose a lot of weight, is go through massive changes and stress, we lose hair. Its kind of a normal thing for WLS. There ate many topics on this. Search above in forums and see what others have been through, and what they've done about it. From everything I've read, it will grow back! You notice because its your head, but I bet others will notice your weight loss, not the Hair loss :-)

I recently experienced Hair loss from a thyroid condition. My hair got very thin....and my hairdresser suggested I try Biotin. I have taken it over 2 months now. After two weeks I noticed my hair was coming back. This stuff works. You can get it at GNC. I will continue to take it after my surgery too.

Hope this helps. I had also read that primrose oil was good for hair loss too but I cannot say for sure.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
