Hi everyone, I'm starting this because we are mid way through the month so I'm guessing about half of us have had the procedure done. The October Bandsters thread has been really great with all the positive comments, suggestions and support. It would be great to keep that community going.

I'm two days post surgery. My pain meds are working fine. The surgery was easier than I expected and I hope the recovery keeps going as well.

How is everyone?

So about a week ago I started to lose a lot of hair. I use to have soo much hair but over the years it has thinned considerably. Now.. I am losing MORE hair.. I just bought some biotin and I have biatric muti-mitamin and hoping that will work. I need my hair back omgz!

I haven't started to lose any hair yet. I have started to take optisource chewable vitamins for post bariatric surgery the past 3 days and have lost 3.4 pounds. I'm taking that along with calcium citrate and biotin daily. I have increased my water intake.

Ive been losing since mid december..banded 10.23..its been almost 8 weeks and still losing hair... its amazing how everyone reacts different. Ive taken all the right protein and vitamins including biotin and iron. Still happened. The general concensus is it will stop and come back. Just when and how much is the nagging question.

Hi guys...just an update... I was banded on October 3rd...I've had two fills since then...I've lost 53 pounds as of January 27th( I only weigh myself at the doctors, if not I drive myself crazy)...everything has been going pretty good I work out three times a week...happy to read alot of us are doing well...lets keep it up!!! It is very hard to stay focused!!!!

Awesome job Kbrax and everyone! and yes.. I'm hoping this hair loss will freakin stop! ><
