thinning and loss of hair



Recommended Posts

I had my gastric sleeve done on Feb 18th, 2013. I am 57 lbs down and I feel great. But, I am having one problem. My hair has always been thin and now it's even thinner. Everytime I comb or brush it was my hair I loss quite a bit daily. I'm eating and drinking my Protein. I'm taking my Vitamins and I've added 2000 mcg of Biotin daily. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I think that you are doing all that you can. I too have fine hair and have lost enough for me to notice. I have taken Biotin everyday since surgery and take all my Vitamins and consume enough Protein daily. I don't think that there is anything more that we can do, well except maybe buy a wig!!

My hair was very thick, and in spite of crazy Protein intake and Biotin supplements, I experienced thinning hair. However, it finally stopped and it has grown back. At the time it was a major crisis - It's just a fuzzy memory now.

Just give it time, it will right itself.

I also have fine, thin hair. It is now falling out by the truckload! Hate it, but hopefully won't last forever. I'll live with it on account of my 70lb weight loss. :D

I lost all of my hair during chemo and it all came back. Then sleeving and it got thin again. I am not sure that it will get better as I am 64 and many on my mother's side were balding. I have very little grey however.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
