hi had surg june 2015...and within the pass 2 weeks my hair keps falling out bad when i wash it just wounding if there are any good vitamin i can take

pattij106 this has been happening to me. I've now added silicea to my supplements list which helps generate growth and my hair dresser has advised me to use sulphate free shampoo. I've found the shampoo to dry my hair out a bit but the silicea has definitely helped.

Good luck...

Someone told me Biotin but I'm only 3 weeks out so I don't know if it works or not but figured it wouldn't hurt

Biotin will help promote new growth but won't stop it falling out. Many WLS patients do see hair loss, sometime substantial. ???? some times it lasts a few months sometimes longer. No easy way to get it to stop. a lot of women opt for a short hair cut during this time. Good luck.

You hair falls out in cycles. Any type of stress can make your hair fall out. This is call telogen effluvium. I have hypothyroidism and my hair has gone through this many times when I have been low. I also went through this with my 3 pregnancies, gastric bypass and now lap band. Here is what you need to do:

Take about 1000th of Biotin

Take 500mg (2x's a day) of Evening Primrose Oil

Make sure you are getting your Protein in.

Take your b12, b6,and b5

B Vitamins are essential for your hair.

I am not a doctor or nurse, but I havev researched this subject because of my situation.

If you have anymore questions, just ask.

thank you everyone.....and i will try Primrose Oil...kelly

I can't tell you how much stuff/vitamins I tried to stop my hair from falling out.

What finally worked for me was liquid silica and powder marine collagen. I add both to my water.

My hair loss has stopped and the dry brittleness is going away.

What happens is when we lose hair, more than usual, it can be because of the exaggerated conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone at the hair follicle. Evening Primrose Oil acts as an inhibitor for this conversion, therefore, keeping the hair from falling out. I hope I have explained this well. Anyway, I know it has helped me many times.

I know you have gotten some good responses, but I just thought I would throw in my two cents: biotin, zinc, folic acid ... and minoxidil. My hair has always been thin, but it got a lot worse with the weight loss. It now is a lot better.
