legallyblonde2 0 Posted September 5, 2005 Please someone tell me that they have experienced this hair loss! I started out with really thick hair. I would say now it looks thin. My hair falls out in such record numbers that I have to carry around a lint roller at all times. I was banded last November and the Hair loss started around 6 months after. Will it stop? I drink a Protein shake everyday. I think I am getting enough Protein. Will it grow back? Don't even get me started on this stupid site kicking me off for the last 3 weeks. I had to open a yahoo account just to log back on. I didn't even want a yahoo account! Christine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paula 4 Posted September 6, 2005 Christine, sorry for your LBT troubles Yes! hair loss IS normal. There is a TON of info that has been shared on this forum about hairloss. Too many for me to locate and copy/paste the links. My OBGYNs office recommended me try a Vitamin called Biotin. You can find it at Walmart - something like $4 a bottle, cheap! His nurse was taking it and raved about it helping her hair and nails grow (faster and stronger). I bought a bottle, but havent taken 1, so I cant say if this is the magic cure!

Parvathi 2 Posted September 6, 2005 Mine was falling out by the handful after surgery. Went on for about 5 months, but has stopped now. It had me stressed, as I was sure I'd end up bald hehe, but I've got a massive head of hair again. It will subside soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legallyblonde2 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Thanks for the words. I guess I am just freaked out by the amount of hair comming out. When people are actually commenting that they can tell a diference in my hair.....something is wrong. Anyone have any good solid reason as to WHY this is happening??? If it's not a Protein thing. Then what? Anyone? Christine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the best me 6 Posted September 6, 2005 I think it's just a weight loss thing. Our bodies are changing and adjusting and who knows what chemical things are happening. I'm losing hair. Drives me nuts. I lost 9 pounds over the summer and it was coming out in droves. I have upped my protien and calories a bit, hit a plateau, but my Hair loss isn't so drastic any more. Go figure. My next idea to handle this and still lose weight is to add calories from fruits and veggies only. Still get protien in, yes, but make sure the extra calories I get are from healthy sources. ??? Drives me nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
