Wanted to ask a quick question. Is there extreme hair loss like there is with the sleeve?

Extreme weight loss is the cause of hair loss, not a particular weight loss surgery. So yes, there's hair loss. There are ways to try and prevent it as much as possible such as vitamins, biotin, and high protein intake, but hair loss is the body's natural way of defending itself when it thinks it is starving.

Does it grow back?

Agree 100%!! My hair loss really caught me off guard and freaked me out, but happily it has mostly grown back (but given me natural layers). Nothing I did prevented or helped it. I think it's just a natural process that you have to ride out. I think I easily lost half of my hair, but no one ever noticed. You won't lose it all though, so no worries there.

sorry, dupe post.

I noticed hair loss. I take vitamins, biotin etcetc Although it will not prevent hair loss it will support hair growth

While there's no guarantee anything will prevent or help hair loss, sometimes the right nutrition and supplements can help.

Not only will weight loss cause hair loss but so can surgery. In the past, I'd always had thinning hair after being under anesthetic. This is actually very common.

I started taking Biotin a year ago. I had two surgeries in less than a month this spring and have had zero hair loss. I firmly believe the fact I was already on Biotin before the surgeries, and eat a healthy diet, is the reason I didn't lose any hair.

Thanks everyone

I've had major hair loss but I just started tracking my protein and I'm not getting enough. Upping my protein now so hopefully this will help also take biotin but that just promotes hair growth like making it longer. But I and my stylist really see a major difference, it's so thin now, I hate it but its my fault for not getting my protein in.

I had some Hair Loss but Took Biotin, and Collagen, & Vitamin E, That Should Do The Trick!!!

I have a question. I want to take biotin, but my biotin supplement is a small liquid gel capsule. I cannot swallow a gel cap right now. Will I ever be able to take it or is there another way to take it? Thanks wise experienced bandsters! I cannot afford to lose hair...I don't have that much to begin with!!!

The Biotin gel caps I take are about the size of a pea. I have no problems whatsoever swallowing them.

Perhaps ask your doctor if it's safe for you take?
