I have previosly lost hair due to medications. My Dr. told me to take extra Zinc and it stopped the Hair loss. Although, it may not stop it she said it should also help with the weight loss hair issue. I can definitely tell a difference in my hair and nails when I take it every day and when I don't. I just went to Wal-Mart and bought a cheap Zinc pill.

Thanks I will get some tomorrow. I have quit using the Shampoo because I felt like I started losing more hair. Maybe it was my imagination but it seemed to be getting worse with it. Thanks again.

It is my understanding that Hair loss for lap band people does happen, but only to a minority not everyone. I know it is extremely common in R&Y, but not as common with lap band. Anyone else told this?

I was told the same thing. But I have been losing a lot of hair for about 1 month. I have been told that no one has ever went bald from it though. I actually like my hair more now then I did before. It was really thick and out of control. But I would like to stop losing now before it is to thin. Cindy Cam I would not worry to much about it. It does not seem to happen to a lot of people. Just make sure you take your Vitamins and ask your Dr. about it. Although I have noticed its not a subject that they like to talk about. I have not had one regret about my band. Before my surgery every day was a chore trying to find something to wear and feeling very unhealthy. Now I am excited to get ready to go because I have so many choices in clothes and I feel sooooo much better. I would not change it for the world. The hair thing is really hard to deal with considering it was the only thing I ever got complamented on. But it will grow back. Good luck to you. Its so exciting!

Biotin is what I take. One pill a day and I can see the diffrence right away. If I stop taking them for 2 or more day, I also see the diffrence. LOL Thanks for the pills LSasha.

read the previous threads about hair loss. Scary stuff. You can do all that stuff people recomend or just wait it out. I was the perfect Protein getter girl and took Vitamins etc. Still fell out by the handfulls. It stops at some point and then grows back slowly. I am back to my normal self. I feel your pain. hair is important.

I have suffered from hair loss... and I mean gobs of hair. It was really scarry and I thought I was going to go bald, but thank goodness it has slowed down. My doctors office swears my thyroid is properly medicated (I have hypothyroidism and have had it since I was 12). I started taking Vitamins regularly and they seem to be helping. My general practitioner says that I'm being malnourished and that is what is causing the Hair loss. I'm trying to eat better and keep up the vitamins. Good luck to all of you with the same problem.

I have always had beautiful thick shiny hair that people commented on, and it really makes me sad to see tons of it in the sink anda shower! It is scary, because I felt like that was the one thing I could be really proud and confident of. I'll have to get some zinc and Biotin and try that. ALso want to get some flax oil, but someone told me it tastes disgusting??

It makes me sad that Hair loss is something ELSE Crystal has to deal with...she has so much to cope with. Let's all pray that she will be given strength and grace to get through with what she needs to do.

I know how you feel about the Hair loss. It really does make me feel sick when it is falling out all day. My husband keeps getting annoyed because it is all over the house. Even when I do laundry it is in my lint holder thing. I am just trying to stay positive and not worry because I dont want to make it worse. But like I said before it really seems like a horrible joke. I finally am starting to feel good about myself and now have to worry about something else. I bought the flax oil and it was horrible. So now I am just taking my multi vit. and Biotin. If you need to talk about it I am here. I think it helps to talk to people who are going through the same thing. Take care and good luck. Jennifer

I heard it takes a few months before it stops... amazing isn't it. The part on my head is so wide now and its embarassing :Banane13: oh well... just keep taking the Protein, I hear it does come back.

I have started parting mine to the side instead of in the center. It looks a little better that way. My bangs keep getting to thin so I keep adding more to them. Hey at least I am saving money on Shampoo and conditioner. It deffinitly takes a lot less.
