Anyone having the same problem ?

Not me, but the standard advice for post-op hair loss is to increase protein intake and/or take a biotin supplement.

I am, from another surgery separate from Lap Band in August.

I am eating all my Protein and taking 5000mcg of Biotin daily, but I still notice it.

It's a very common side effect of anesthetic.

started seeing more hair around the drain 2 months out....now into my 4th month, not as much..hoping it stops soon as i have fine hair to begin with...yikes... as jeanie (bandqueen) said, up the protein *what i am doing* and the biotin..

Increasing fluids, HEALTHY HAIR SKIN AN NAILS plus ESSENTIAL 1(both sold by ProLabs online) Really worked, after trying 8 others that did nothing i noticed a Big stop in the amount of hair in my brush! THEN

Also, keep track if exact amouts of protein! PROTEIN shots are Super easy to have in a pinch! EVEN LESS HAIR LOSS Your dr. Should check your B levels, and thyroid (or) hormones (if this stuff isnt helping), unfortunately the added stress of surgery+ the type of any WLS, and weight loss (combined with EVEN PERIMENOPAUSE) can Greatly increase hair thining or loss that otherwise (or minus) one or more if these (stressors) on the body one may not have noticed! PPHYTO B (is a super healthy sublingual suppliment)that helps with mild hormone peri menopause, and/or full blown changes you may need to ask your doctir about bio identical hormone replacement risks vs benefits, or add progesterone 21 days a month/ and or DHEA. FINALLY NO MORE HAIRLOSS AT ALL Add now it has begun TO TOTALLY SHINE AGAIN AND GROWING BACK!!!!! Of course These areas may not apply to the majority with hair loss, but anyone with a family history of early menopause, or long ten year peri menopause, SHOULD check on ALL areas! BEST TO KNOW! I found out rather late after almost 6 months of false assumptions hair loss was normal and all but requiring a wig, when then the same doctors FINALLY took me serious. Good luck!

Thanks guys for the great advice:-) especially rklewis2. I'm going to try this and let you know how I got on.

Taking biotin and carefully watched the protein intake to make sure I was meeting recommended requirement. Took about 2 months, but I am seeing less hair in the drain ! Whew !
