  • Mine started about 4 months out. It has gotten pretty thin. The Dr. said zinc can help too. Make sure you are getting your protein in. Can't build hair with out it.

Hmm, I am almost 3 months out and have had no hair loss. I have read some lose some don't I did see some threads about special shampoo/conditioner that people used. I think your best bet is to keep that protein up and make sure you are taking all your vitamins daily. The dietitian with my program says if you follow the requirement you shouldn't have too many problems but she also said some people just lose some hair and biotin can be taken but wont necessarily help prevent this. From reading threads, most people have hair problems somewhere between 3-9 months and then it slowly resolves. I have decided that if my hair gets bad I will cut my hair shorter and go from there.

I spoke to my Dietician just yesterday about this. She told me that one of the people who had WLS was a dermatologist and said that people could come to her and pay her big bucks for what she sells, or they can go to Wal-Mart and buy the cheapest hydrocortison cream. Take about a dime size amount and rub it on all of your fingers and then rub it over any balding spots, or just through your scalp in general. This supposedly promotes hair growth. I'm not using it, but my dh went out and bought a tube to try lol

I have so much hair that it seriously takes my stylist cutting it 3 times every 4 weeks, so for now, I'm not worrying about it. I'm in competition with my white Persian as to who can leave much hair on the couch :)
