Just wondering if everyone is having some degree of hair loss. I get my protein in, take hair vitamins, use nixon, had my blood check and still losing hair...Jeezz. Was banded on Dec 28th, 2009. My weight loss has been slow, so I don't think it is necessarily from losing to much weight? What kind of vitamins are you using. I use hair revive 5.....Suggestions anyone.....:blushing:

I have no hair loss and I was banded on 11/9/09 and have lost about 60 lbs. I take Bariatric Advantage Vita Band vitamins and have missed my protein target many times. I think it's really individual -- some people have it and others don't. I hope it gets better for you.

I never had hairloss - above normal that is. I shed like mad anyway. But no, it never thinned or gave me any concern.

I have had hairloss for about 4 months, which is starting to slow down now. I get all my protien too and take all my vitamins. Just happens... not worried about it. Yet. LOL

I had the band placed in Sept. and have been really worried about how much hair I have been losing. to the point where I would go 3 days without shampooing because I couldn't deal with the clogged drain and the hair that I pulled from my brush. And if I ran my hands through my hair I would get 10-20 strands each time, all day long. and my pillowcase would be covered when I woke up.

I do have to say that it is slowing down. Yesterday when I washed it I only had 3 strands come out and about 20 in the brush. When I run my hands through now I get maybe 2, sometimes none, and no hair on my pillowcase for the past few nights.

I have always gotten enough protein and the Dr said it might have been my gallbladder which could have caused some of the loss but since my surgery last week I see a great improvement.

I always had thin hair, but alot of it, now I have 1/2 of what I had before and it is thinner. I don't see the new short growth yet but it's early.

I do have to say, that no matter how many people on these boards reassured me that it would grow back, I was still not a believer and it really was worrisome.

I was losing hair before the band, so i don't think it is the band causing it as I only have 2cc in my band anyway. Hmmmmm, I read a interesting article on spironalactone stopping hair loss..I am going to look into that.

No hairloss here. But I have heard that alot. I just take multi vitamin, calcium and my protein shakes of course. I was banded on Dec 3rd. I am down 23 lbs
