Anyone experiencing hair loss?

[wonderpooh2u 33]

I was banded in June of this year, and lately my hair seems to be falling out a lot more than the normal, every day Hair loss. I had a handful of hair today after my shower, and it's never that much. Am I deficient somewhere? Should I bring it up to my surgeon? Are there other Vitamins I should be taking?

I have lots of hair, and the thought of it falling out is scary!!!

When I lost weight a few years back, I had the same thing happen. I saw my Dr. and he informed me it was due mal-nourishment, mainly the lack of Protein. I would check with your Dr but you may need to step up your protein. By the way are you taking Vitamins?

Banded in March. Hair loss started in June and still going. Trying not to worry. There are several threads here about it. Good luck.

I was banded last September. My hair starting falling out in February. It stopped in May and is regrowing. I have lots of new growth...and it sticks straight up It will get better. Find ways to boost your Protein and talk to your doc. Good luck!

I was banded in March and started losing hair in May and June. I started taking Biotin and I use the Shampoo Nioxin. My hair is coming back and I also cut it shorter. So do not stress some say it is Protein intake, but I have always kept mine Protein high and I still lost hair.

Thanx, everyone!

Yes, taking a Multivitamin, and between food and shakes, usually around 60g+ Protein per day.

I will drink an extra shake, use better Shampoo, and take any additions Vitamins, if it'll help.......

You should yes up your Protein intake but my dr also told me to take Biotin and lots of it. I was worried about the Hair loss too. Getting married in a few months and I need all the hair I can get.

You might look into Biotin. They sell it at Walmart and grocery stores.

I was also banded in June and am losing hair, and didn't have very thick hair to start with. I'll look into Biotin.< /p>

I take Gummy Multivitamins daily. It has some Biotin in it, but I bought a separate Biotin supplement today. I also bought Shampoo and conditioner with biotin in it.

Thanx!

I was banded in December and started noticing Hair loss in late February. It lasted through May and then it stopped just as suddenly as it started. I can now see lots of regrowth. I didn't really do anything different other than taking Biotin but I'm not really sure how much that helped. Just try not to panic. It will get better.
