missybelle 1 Posted June 24, 2010 I am at my wits end regarding the Hair loss. I have bought multiple hair pieces and have even bought a full wig. I had average hair not too thick not too thin. I'm 20 months post surgery and I am still having extreme hair loss. It has gotten so bad I have to wear 2 hair pieces and now I am having a hard time keeping them in place because I have so little hair to attach them. The worst part is I have only lost 20 pounds since surgery. I am really thinking of removing the band. I have become so depressed. If anyone has any suggestions or support stories it might lift my spirits. Like someone else said I thought it was menapause but now I don't think so, I am convinced it is the band. Please help.

missybelle 1 Posted June 24, 2010 Thanks for the info about the Joan Rivers powder for the scalp. I'm going on QVC.Com right now to purchase it. If anyone else has any suggestions they will be much appreciated.I'm tired of cleaning all my hair off the bathroom floor and the shower drain.

Humming Bird 275 Posted June 24, 2010 oh geez, that sounds pretty bad. I'm sorry, but I have tried everything and I have no new ideas to give. Mine did start growing back in, but I am still having hair issues myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salma 0 Posted September 2, 2010 don't worry. Protein Shakes and Biotin did it for me. It will grow back:smile:. I felt the same way about 4 months ago, chunks of hair were just falling off. I began increasing my Protein intake and that seem to help a lot. I know how you feel, give it time and start shakes and biotin Vitamin it really works. Good luck!

frenchvanilla 0 Posted September 7, 2010 hello all! well I am 2 years banded & have almost no hair!! I have bald spots everywhere I have been to every specialist and no one can tell why this is happening I am sooooo depressed and i have tried everything. I even see a dermatologist who gives me steriod injections into the bald spots which does help the hair grow back but them there are always new bald spots popping up! I feel defeated at this point and guess i will have no hair at all shortly I take Vitamins,Biotin, Protein., liquid Iron any other suggestions besides a wig would be helpful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
