:biggrin0: I am at my 5 month mark after my sleeve. Weight loss is great, 2lbs shy of hitting the 100lb. YEAH... Only problem is I m having a lot of hair Loss too. Anybody else? I am trying to get in my Protein daily, I takeall my Vitamins. Will this stop soon. Please help.

Thanks, Christina

Wish I knew the answer to that one. My hair is falling out too. I take everything everyone tells me to take, and I know I am getting the necessary Protein. I am not one that has trouble eating or drinking my Protein shakes.

Nobody seems to have the answer to why it falls out or what makes it stop. I think it just has to run it's course.

My hair was falling out before surgery (due to the c section / post baby thing....I always seem to loose it about 5-7 months out)......but I can say that my nails (toe and finger) agre growing like crazy and have never looked better with all this protein! Almost a 1/4 inch in two weeks!

Hair is stopping somewhat with all the Protein (I get 40 of whey and 40-50 of soy)........ I think some people just are prone to loose it with weight loss...... Hair dresser says I have a ton coming in though!

Hello!

I haven't had my surgery yet (July 29th)..I'm super excited! But, I was just talking to my mother n law and her friend who had the surgery in Dec. wanted to pass on some info to me. She had experienced hair loss as well. Out of all her reseach and visits with different doctors noone had mentioned hair loss as a side effect. When she mentioned it to her dr. he suggested Biotin Vitamin. She found success with this. I hope this helps!!

Take care,

Angie

I don't have any real answers and/or solutions to the hair loss problem. But, I wanted to pop in and welcome Christina and Angie to our forums. We are glad to have both of you join us.

I've been using the nioxin products- shampoo, scalp conditioner, and conditioner, It seems to be helping.

Christina, I'm worried about hair loss also, I love my hair.. the one thing on my body that I absolutely would NOT Change! My sister is taking Biotin vits. I'm going to get some this weekend and start taking them as soon as I can after surgery also.

Angie, My surgery is the 29th also! good luck and keep me posted on how you are doin>

Both of you, welcome to the forum, I'm new here too, only been here a couple weeks.

I look forward to getting to know everyone of the wonderful people here.

Hugz,

I've been taking Biotin and I took it for a year after lap band surgery. I quit taking it because it didn't seem to help. I started taking it again a couple of months before my sleeve surgery and my hair still started falling out. I am afraid for the 4th month because that's when it's supposed to start falling out the most. Mine fell out from the 4th month until at least year or more post band surgery.

That's why I started the nioxin products before sleeve surgery. I am doing everything possible to not lose anymore hair. I lost half my hair from banding and it's still not recovered.
