Any One Have A Issues With Hair Loss After Lap Band Surgery?

OMG, We talked about this very topic last night at our support group session! In fact it was the very first question asked. I was surprised to hear that lap-banders experienced hair loss (or rather hair thinning). Some suggestions include using Biotin, Hair growth shampoo/conditioner, and ensure you're following a proper post-surgery diet. While I pray this doesn't happen to my beautiful thick abundant hair, if it does I will take comfort in knowing that it is temporary and it will grow back.

Maybe you should have your thyroid levels checked, I have hypothyroidism and when my levels are out of balance I lose my hair, wether my levels are too low or too high. - Just a thought.

I had this problem with the Bernstein diet I was on, it was due to a lack of Omega 3-6-9 in my diet

I think its a lack of Vitamin D or stress related.

I haven't noticed that and I have been taking Vitamin D for a year now. I was very deficient in it.

I actually have had issues with losing my hair a couple of times. When it happens it even starts to make my eyelashes fall out. What I have discovered is that it is based on my Protein intake. I have GOT to get in at least 70g a day minimum. My skin even starts to lose its healthy glow and elasticity. Protein is a biggie for staying healthy and I make it my #1 priority along with Water intake
