Hair Loss After Lap Band Surgery...is There A Way Around It?

[highland 168]

I am 5 months post op and have not experienced Hair loss. I have NOT lost rapidly and I am religious about counting my Protein every day. I get between 70 - 100 grams every day. I eat very little that is not protein. I do not think this has to be a problem from my research.

I never experienced any hair loss, But I do get all of my daily Protein.

Hopefully you don't experience it. Mine started about 8 months after surgery and 90 pounds lost. I know I wasn't getting enough Protein then. I make sure and get it now, though!

Interesting. That's good to know. I assumed it was a pst-op occurrence.

The nurse at my Lap Band Center said if it's gonna happen, it's usually 6-12 months after surgery.

I am 7 mths out and down127 pounds. I take my Vitamins, get over my Protein amount and have never had a issue with Hair loss. I really do not think there is a magic way to keep it from happening
