Hi guys! I'm new to this forum, but I'm post op almost 4 yrs. I've been at my goal weight for a yr and for about 2 yrs I've been having issues with my hair thinning out. I didn't have thick hair to begin with and it's been one of the most frustrating parts of being banded. I try to get an much Protein as possible, I take a Multivitamin and Biotin. If anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them! Hope to hear back from all of you out there in cyberspace!

Thanks

I'm still in my first year but the hair loss was happening. So I started adding in a whey Protein drink, Whey protein concentrate to increase my protein levels and the hair loss has stopped and seems to be thickening up again.

Protein supplys the building blocks for all your bodies cells, repairing and replacing them. Not enough protein and your body will focus on repairing the most important things first and that is not the hair!!

Yeah, the only thing I can think of is to get as much protein in as you can, take biotin, and treat your hair really gently. If you heat style it (blowdry, flatiron, curl, whatever), stop and give it time to heal

how are you b vitamin levels? In particular b-12? I have had alot of hair loss due to a deficiency.

Also, I think I should have added that if you haven't had it done lately, you should have your blood drawn and checked for deficiencies, such as B-12 as mentioned above.

Has anyone tried foltene shampoo? I've tried everything else people have talked about here at LBT with no results.
