My hair....

My hair is still falling out....

I am about 3.5 months out from surgery - it started at the end of the first month and it continues. I eat about 80-95 grams of protein a day so the doc says I am getting enough. She thinks it is rapid weight loss and told me to take biotin. I take about 5000 mg of powdered biotin everyday - and to no avail. And now it is starting to really show... I am distressed..... can someone provide some comforting feedback on this? My weight loss has been pretty rapid I guess, I am loosing right now about 3 lbs per week - and I guess I would take skinny over my hair - but I am freaking out....

    My gosh, thank you all for posting this info. I've been silently terrified, losing my hair. I have always had very thick hair and a lot of it until recently. I'm feeling absolutely devastated becau

I am 8 mos. post op and am just now seeing the hair loss. I expected it about 4-5 mos. post-op since that's when it happened with my pregnancies, but I don't remember it ever happening. Do you think it could still be from the surgery or do you think I have a nutrient deficient?
