  1. Is hair loss a given?

    prettyred replied to Angie68's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    Thanks for the welcome!! No as amatter of fact, I have not been here long. Today is my first day. I have not had my surgery yet. However I just seen the Doc this week and was shocked when he said this. What he said was "that if you start to have hair loss it COULD BE DUE TO PROTEIN DEF. Your hair is protein, and when you become def. your hair begins to fall out." It is his suggestion and mines that you see your Doc if you a now having hair loss and was not prior to surgery (Just to know for sure). With lapband and bypass they both can cause malabsorbtion, protein annd Vitamin def. Congrats:clap2: on your weight loss!!! Peace and Blessings, Prettyred
