Hair loss

[Corridor72 518]

I know a lot of people experience Hair loss after being banded. How long does it typically last?

my hair loss only lasted a few months. when I started taking the Biotin it just stopped. my husband gave me suave morracan shiny hair Shampoo in my Christmas stocking so my hair looks healthy too! I never tried suave products I always bought the expensive stuff at the salon. I am really pleased with it.

I've been using the Suave Shampoo with moroccan argan oil in it since before I ever had my surgery. I only recently started taking Biotin though. It hasn't helped yet but then, I haven't been taking it long. Fortunately, I have naturally thick hair so it's not as noticeable to everyone else as it is to me BUT, I keep thinking if it doesn't slow down or stop soon, I'm gonna be bald before it's over! And for the record, I make sure I get my Protein in every day too so I don't think that's the problem either.

I use to have long thick hair..but thyroid problems got the best of it...got the band and hair started falling out. I am eating more Protein and taking Biotin and using a product called Nioxin. Its a hair shampoo and conditioner that I'm using...fairly expensive...but beginning to see hair soft and fluffy in balding spots. So if I keep up the combo I hope it continues. Also got an eyelash builder to grow thicker and longer lashes. It says it's safe around eyes but haven't started it yet. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I am noticing some loss at four months out. Some one posted on another thread about a possible correlation to anesthesia and Hair loss at exactly this time. Where's my biotin! Must be sure to get that in each day. Who knows, may be a placebo effect but I want to do whatever I can. I'm not too worried -- know it will come back in better than ever, and in my case probably whiter than ever, too. I started going white with one stripe in a black head of hair at 16. That was a long times go!

Mine was fixed by having Vitamin D levels checked. They were low. They put on 50,000 iu daily for 10 days and it stopped. Ask your doctor
