Hairloss

I was banded almost two years ago. Ever since then I have been shedding hair more or less every other month. My hair grows back, but it's almost always thinner at top. I've been taking biotin, I get enough protien, etc. Does anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions as to what can be done?

A couple months out I started to loose hair. I have reallllly thick hair so no once else notice; but I was still concerned. I started to take Biotin 5000 (caplets are tick tack sized) and my hair loss really slowed down. When I asked the weight loss nurse about the hair loss she said I wasn't loosing fast enough for that to be the cause. Jeez thanks!

I also take biotin 5000mcg as well as silica tablets. You can get them online from Puritan's Pride.
