Hair loss

I have been banded for almost 4 months now and for about two months have expeienced hair loss. I'm really worried about this. I'm taking Biotin and trying very hard to eat more Protein. It's hard getting that much protein down without getting "the brick".

Anyone had this problem? It totally freaks me out!!! Am I normal????:help:

Thanks for the info about the Joan Rivers powder for the scalp. I'm going on QVC.Com right now to purchase it.

If anyone else has any suggestions they will be much appreciated.I'm tired of cleaning all my hair off the bathroom floor and the shower drain.

oh geez, that sounds pretty bad. I'm sorry, but I have tried everything and I have no new ideas to give. Mine did start growing back in, but I am still having hair issues myself.

don't worry. Protein shakes and biotin did it for me. It will grow back:smile:. I felt the same way about 4 months ago, chunks of hair were just falling off. I began increasing my protein intake and that seem to help a lot. I know how you feel, give it time and start shakes and biotin vitamin it really works. Good luck!

hello all!

well I am 2 years banded & have almost no hair!! I have bald spots everywhere

I have been to every specialist and no one

can tell why this is happening

I am sooooo depressed and i have tried everything.

I even see a dermatologist who gives me steriod injections into the bald spots which does help the hair grow back but them there are always new bald spots popping up!

I feel defeated at this point and guess i will have no hair at all shortly

I take Vitamins,Biotin, Protein., liquid Iron

any other suggestions besides a wig would be helpful
