OH NO!!! That's my biggest fear.for how long has your hair been falling out. My hair started falling out too, I lucky to have a full thick hair but I'm loosing a lot. I'm taking Vitamin and Biotin and some drops my hair dresser puts on my hair, but I don't see any improvement. Good luck

It is all about protein....once your system gets over the surgery you have to start upping your Protein intake....Protein is the body builder....60gms a day.....Lots of Water as well..Then once your body catches up it will slow down and stop

My doctor says there is no way to stop the loss of hair. Some claim Biotin or special shampoos or lotions will help, but he maintains they are a waste of money. The loss will stop on its own. Mine began at around 6 months and lasted until about 10 months. The biggest problem for me was finding hair in the food I cooked. Yuck!

When does your hair stop falling out. I'm so upset my hair is thinning out so much. I even have bald spots.

I am about 20 weeks post op and my hair is falling out in clumps, it is so scary sometimes, I take Biotin, I eat Protein, I drink Water. I think there are some people who will lose a lot of hair and some are lucky with good genes and just don't .

      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.
