annanay1 14 Posted June 11, 2018 Hi can you please suggest the best chewable vitamins and amounts to take especially to fight Hair loss. I just got sleeved thursday and am very afraid of losing hair because I have very thin hair as is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FancyChristine15 810 Posted June 11, 2018 Biotin is what my NP recommended for me; I don't know that it comes in chewable form, but it does come in a sublingual form. Also, be sure to take your bariatric mulitvitamin. I'm sure that helps too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Z 4,139 Posted June 11, 2018 Biotin, but there are some conflicting reports of it not actually doing anything (I still take it daily). It's important to note that Hair loss can be caused by stress and not a deficiency in Vitamins as well. The stress associated with a major surgery can cause your body to pump out hormones that cause our hair to enter a "resting" phase. So, it's possible that no matter what you take, it won't have an actual effect on your potential hair loss. I'm hoping against hope that I don't lose anything, it's taken me quite a while to get my hair where it is now... and I don't want to lose a bunch of the beard either! Good luck! https://www.drdkim.net/ask-the-dietitian/understanding-hair-loss-after-bariatric-surgery/ "telogen effluvium has to do with stress to the body and hormonal changes that can occur. Due to the stress more hair follicles can enter into the resting phase. This is important because the hair in the resting phase at the time of surgery is most likely the hair you will shed. This is why your hair sheds between 1 to 6 months after surgery (usually about3 to 4 months). When the hair starts to grow again the old hair follicle is released and you lose hair. Sometimes the hair comes out before new hair grows, yikes!" 2 Creekimp13 and Bryn910 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaylee.char 20 Posted June 11, 2018 I just got two bottles of Biotin gummies at costco at a great price, I'm crossing my fingers i don't lose hair either! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losebig 508 Posted June 11, 2018 I haven’t had any Hair loss (6months). My nutritionist attributes it to hitting my nutrition goals (protein). I do take 2 chewable Centrum complete Vitamins daily, Vitamin D, B12, Calcium and they test us every couple months for nutrition labs. I also started Biotin maybe 2 months ago due to breaking finger nails (it helped), so that could be a factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
