When Does The Hair Loss Stop?

I had surgery in Dec and its been this last month I am noticing hair loss. I have thick hair so I can afford to loss some but I hope it stops soon. I am taking 10000 mg biotin pills every day. I am getting my protein in everyday. I know whenever you majorly change your diet it effects other parts of your body. I was just wondering what some other peoples thoughts were on hair loss!!!!

Are u taking a multivitamin my Dr recommended flinstone chewables?

Yes I am taking the opurity chewable vitamins made just for lap band people. I like them because you only Havering take one a day.

Also becareful of the type of Protein you are getting. Make sure it is a good quality or your body may not absorb it well enough resulting in hair loss.

I heard injury is one of the best for protein absorption.

Unjury is an extremely good one and my personal favorite. I ike to take the unflavored and add it to everything including every bottle of water I have I add half a scoop of unflavored unjury plus my packet of sug free crystal light.

I have unjury at home the unflavored protein so I need to start adding it again!

Dr Laura Machado says that it takes 3 months for the loss of protein to show up in hair loss. I started to lose hair also, I now drink a 42gram EAS protein drink a day, half in the morning, half in the afternoon. Hair loss has stopped. Hope you find your solution.

almost everybody i know lost their hair, including me, it went on for about 6-7 weeks, even while i was taking biotin.. it will stop Good luck

So when your doc says three months does that mean 3 months without me not getting enough protein? Or just three months after surgery?

I started losing mine 3 months ago. It's started 2 months after surgery. I drink body fortress I dunno If it's any good but I also have never heard someone say that the quality of protein depends on what your body will absorb. I have a doc appoint tomorrow and will ask that question. I have lost a lot of hair and M very nervous also because it's been 3 months and hasnt slowed down any. Hope it gets better soon

I'm so scared. This is what scares me more than the other risks. I have thin hair already and don't want it to happen ugh. I'm gonna have to see what happens then.

I had surgery in December too and my hair has been coming out for about a month now. I don't have a lot of hair so I'm starting to get a little worried. It has slowed down, but the hair is still coming out. I'm trying to stay on top of my protein I take and I've been taking biotin since January. It makes me feel better to know I'm not alone, but I just wish I knew what was going to happen to my hair.

Yes my hair is thin too and I hve been very nervous too my doc said take biotin and zinc which I have been doing for about a month now but it's still Falling out like crazy. Someone told me to get bosley hair shampoo for thinning hair and swears by it so I did that also

Let me know how it works. I'm going to buy it. I'm also massaging my scalp. I heard if u take Omega 3 it's good to stop hair loss.

I'll try that too lol I'm taking everything else to help why not one more thing lol! I hope the shampoo helps too
