What can I do about my hair shedding? It has been 6 mos as of 11/28/13 since I had my lapband procedeure; I'm taking my multi-vitamins and biotin, and I AM STILL experiencing hair shedding. What can I do?

hair loss is really common after any surgery and it usually doesn't even start until 3-4 months post operation.

It will stop on it's own. Make sure you get enough Protein and lots of Water, too.

Hang in there.

It even happened to me... and my hair wasn't that thick to begin with.

As soon as I started to eat more Protein everything went back to normal.

My doctor said this was very common for both men and women.

at 6 mos is when i started to lose my hair too!! my doctor once told me when this happened before is to count backwards about 6 mos and try and remember if anything stressful happened in your life. its normal i guess. i don't like it so i took the advice of one of the banders and that was to add Biotin. don't know if it is working yet. hope so

I would like to thank everyone for all of their responses to my issue that I am having re: hair shedding! I have been up and down thus far; I suppose the best thing is that everyone else can tell that I am losing weight; but I guess in every case, YOU are the last to know! Have a great holiday EVERYONE!
