hi i was wondering if anyone else has suffered from this and found good solution, i was banded in june and over the last 3 weeks have started to lose loads of hair, i keep finding it everywhere! its starting to freak me out, so i'm going to make a concious effort to get the Protein in and have started taking Omega 3, 6,9 (and daily Multivitamins i've taken since op) i know up until a week ago my protein levels had dropped, but i can't handle Protein Shakes and now my stomach turns at the bars, any thoughts or ideas would be gratefully recieved:blush:

My doctor suggested Biotin 5,000mcg a day. I helps with Hair loss and nails. I had to start taking it before my surgery. Hope this helps.

Hi, I too had significant hairloss that started about 6 months after my surgery. It was so bad that I could see my scalp in certain places and I was in panic mode. The doctor suggested I up my Protein a little and make sure I was taking enough Biotin along with my multi Vitamin and Calcium. After that I went to my hairdresser and she did a hot oil treatment once a month for 3 months. I am now back with a full head of hair :party:. Be patient and diligent. It will stop, it is just your bodies way of showing that it is shocked by your weight loss.
