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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
