My VSG was on 12/15/14. When does the hair falling out stop? My hair is so thin now, it's been about a month, almost two that it's been coming out a lot! My PA told me I'm losing so much hair because I'm not eating enough protein. I feel I am though.

while my hair was falling out I took biotin and washed my hair with suave Moroccan shiny hair product. as my hair fell out it at least looked healthy.

My hair has been falling out since week 8 and I am 7.5 months post op. I immediately started Biotin. Biotin helps with regrowth very well. It does not stop your hair from falling out. I have had several doctors tell me when the weight loss slows down/stops my hair will stop falling out. I am now 49lbs from goal. In my fifth month the hair loss became even more agressive. The good news is I have lots of new hair coming in.

I have also had all my labs pulled and I am getting plenty of protein and iron. This is all about the rapid weight loss.

glad things have calmed down, keep up the good work and success kathy

hope you have been feeling better these past few days - take care kathy

where did you do the injection?

Upper thigh into the muscle. Didn't even feel it. :-)

I do shots, and they are covered by my insurance..

My surgery (RNY) is scheduled for Tuesday, February 17th at Mayo Clinic. Has anybody been given any suggestions for the last few days before surgery?
