I'm a little over four months out and my hair is falling out so fast. My hair is thin to begin with and starting to feel scared. Well I used everything I've read to use but nothing is working. Just wondering how long does this last and how long before it grows back?

What all have you used? I am 12 days post op and losing my hair is my biggest fear. I started bariatric Vitamins, prescription, a month ago. Nasal spray B12 and chewable multi Vitamin and chewable Calcium, 1800 mg, a day. I hope that will keep me from losing hair. You may check out the vitamins. Google nascobal b12 nasal spray. It costs me $25 a month. I was taught also to take 600 mg (I think mg, I would have to check out my bottle) of calcium at a time. Also how much Protein a day are you getting in? It is imperative that you get that protein in for Hair growth.

There doesn't seem to be any magical solution that I can see. Some get it, some don't. There are posters who aim for 100 gms of Protein and swear that helps. Others take hair Vitamins that contain Biotin and collagen, and swear by that. My NP says it just active weight loss. All the protein you take in is being redirected to your body as you lose weight. Hence the hair and nails suffer. Cutting hair short and lessening how much you manipulate you hair may help. For example if you are a daily washer can you wash every other day. If it is really concerning you can consult a dermatologist to see if they have any recommendations.

Sound like you have all your bases covered, the bases I know of at least. I do read it always grows back, so be sure you tell me the same thing if it happens to me :)

Good luck with everything!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
