I have MyFitnessPal ~ Mefyrst

I am no expert however, I know that hair is protein and I know someone who is vegetarian who wears wigs due to her hair loss. Lack of protein in her diet was said to be the cause. I am not banded yet but I am worried about this happening. Have you talked to your Dr? I hope you get an answer and can get it under control! Congratulations on the 47lbs!!!!

Yes, the hair loss is because of lack of protein. I take 1 biotein vitamin every night because my doctor told me after about 100 days after tr surgery that you will loose some hair. Try the biotein and try to get your 60-80 grams of protein a day.

DonnaMP- I take a 5000 mcg biotin tablet every day (2x a day) and it's the size of a tictac- It's the Spring Valley brand from WalMart- hopefully that wouldn't make you get stuck?

Best answers.. I have the same thing..Do the Biotin deal.

I was also told it is to do with weight loss over an extended period of time too. I take Biotin 5000mcg i dont think it stops hair loss but it does make your hair grow back super quick.. my hait is much thinner due to my age too but Biotin has def helped .. I use the Biotin shampoo and conditioner too .. i got from amazon !

That's what my doctor said to do was to include Biotin in my daily meds.

I did not have hair loss from lapband. I have read on here that several people have. My own daughter did have the problem. I think that it is related to rapid weightloss. You could search under hair loss on the search, I am sure that you will get a list. But, sounds liek you are on the right track. Good luck, Karen
