Hair Loss

[SlimShadyinLV 7]

I am at 14 Weeks and just now starting to experience hair loss! Is there something I can take? Any info would be appreciated.

I wish I knew. I am losing tons of hair. Getting very thin spots on my head Does this stop? Will it grow back?

[mdefabio 73]

I have the same problem. We should be getting in at least 70 - 80 grams of Protein.< /p>

I heard others say Biotin helps with that...I'm going to stock up!

[tsmyle 65]

Biotin may help

[SummersGirl 41]

Biotin has done nothing for me. Or maybe I'd be more bald? I eat about 55-65g of Protein daily. Before surgery I probably ate 20g per day and I had lots of hair. So what gives?

[danni 6]

Oh no please dont tell me that. I will be happy to lose weight but my hair? ?? I did just get a short haircut in preperation...as I have always had long hair....I was hoping that shorter hair would allow me to hide hairloss better but if not...I'll just own it...lol

I started to lose my hair at 2.5 months out in fists full. I started to take a supplement (chewable) from GNC called b-beautiful and it helped but not with Hair loss but with regrowth. It is kind of pricey but it goes on sale and I stock up

The best part is that it stops and all my hair is back just as it was before. Short time side effect and well worth the healthy life!

I have heard from numerous doctors that it will grow back. I am holding them to it!

I was told to take 28mg of zinc daily along with Biotin.

Google telogen effluvium.

Cliff Notes:

It's temporary

Literature says zinc (up to 200mg/day helps)

Personal experience:

I'm 12 weeks out and great with the hair but I eat about 125-130g Protein each day and am diligent about my Vitamins.

HOW do you manage to get 125-130gms of Protein in daily??? I am nowhere near surgery, but was trying to visualize 80gms yesterday and its a pretty stunning amount for a teeny tummy.

No one mentioned hair loss to me at all before my surgery. Now it's bugging me. I haven't noticed any Hair loss yet (I'm 2 months out). I'm eating my Protein and taking my multi-Vitamins. Is there still a chance I'll get it?

I hope everyone can get their hair back. I know it would freak me out to lose that much hair so quickly.

It is temporary! I take Biotin, zinc, and use Nioxon Shampoo and conditioner. Myself and 4 of my friends had the sleeve, we all got thin...very thin hair and we all are having it come back, yippee

Hmm, I am 4 1/2 months out and have had zero hairloss. The only Vitamins I take are a multi Vitamin, no extra anything. However, I have very slow growing hair and that is what allowed me to keep my hair during chemo and may be why I haven't experienced the hairloss that others have experienced.
