Hello to all,

I was sleeved back in August and since then have lost nearly 50 lbs. I am eating fairly well and healthy, take all required Vitamins and am going through rapid and noticeable hair loss. I thought the Biotin 10,000 mcg/daily tabs would help but they haven't been helping me much.

Any thoughts and advice for those of you who may have gone through the same experience...any hope of stopping the hair loss or getting my hair to its normal state?

Thanks for reading this and for your responses!

Warm regards,

Luckystar

If your hair loss started so soon after surgery it could be a side affect of anesthesia. I have a friend that was put under for a C-section and she experienced rapid hair loss and her doctor told her that lots of people will experience hair loss from anesthesia. Compound that with the rapid weight loss. I am five months post op and my hair loss started last week. I don't wash my hair as often and I don't brush it so often throughout the day.

Mine is starting to feel really dry ... I guess that's the beginning stages ????

I had a nightmare about hair loss ????????????! I am petrified or horrified about hair loss!

I have interlocks and not single strands

My dietician has a regimine for hair loss (along with daily vitamins) people say works wonders (I haven't had surgery yet so going by what they say in the post op meetings). I will paste it below:
