Doesn't happen to everyone. I've had some minor thinning, and picked up a bottle of Biotin Vitamins yesterday. Going to give that a shot. As I recall, the general consensus is a Vitamin deficiency can cause it.

I had RNY surgery and did not experience any hair loss. But some have reported this as a problem. It is important to make sure that you meet the minimum daily Protein requirements especially as you approach your bottom weight because a lack of Protein can cause Hair loss.< /p>

I had a little thinning. But I was a maniac about keeping up with my Protein and I took Biotin from day 1, too.

I am not quite sure I've experienced the thinning yet, but I do feel like I am having a lot of breakage. I try to eat LOTS of Protein a day, I take my Vitamins + Biotin. Anyone else experienced this?

I'm still pre op and I started taking Biotin about four months ago. I know not everyone experiences hair loss, and some not so bad, but I wanted to be as proactive as possible.

I'm taking the pills now, but will switch to the liquid post op, while I'm healing.

Good luck!

4 months post op and I have a lot falling out now. I take Biotin dissolvable tablets every day. My hair is also growing quite fast- I have had to move my coloring appointment up by a week! No thinning just a lot of hair in the shower and on my brush. Good luck!

My Biotin dissolvable is 5,000mcg and I take one per day. My multi Vitamin has 40mcg in it, so I am taking 5,040 per day. Good luck!

      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.
