Hey all,

I am freaked out right now because in the last couple of weeks I have been losing ALOT of hair! I mean handfuls and throughout the day they drop here and there. What could be going on here? I think I am getting enough Protein every day and I drink at least a whole bottle of Vitamin Water every day. I don't get it and it's really freaking me out! More like getting depressing because the balding is showing right about my temples. :eek:

Maybe a suggestion of some Vitamins or minerals I am missing and what kind to take if any?

I hope someone out there can help me understand what might be going on and how to resolve it. My surgery was way back in MAY and now losing all my hair.

:faint:

Peace soon,

There are a gazillion threads on the topic with varying opinions. I'd do a seach on "hair loss" and read everything.

I was banded April 5th and thought I was past the risk period for hair loss, but mine is coming out by the handful now.

I have read many posts and possible explanations for hair loss and what I have learned is this......that is it most likely related to the anethesia from surgery, that it has nothing to do with Protein or Vitamins, and that it will stop and your hair will all come back, some even say better and fuller.

Hope you find this as reassuring as I did.

Judy,

My hair started falling out today!!! Or I just noticed it.....same band date, same hair loss. I bought Biotin right after surgery, took it a couple of times and stopped, now I wish I hadn't. I am going to kick up the Protein and take my biotin. I hope all else it good with you!

HI Maureen,

Mine started coming out in wads in the shower about a week or more ago and hasn't let up much. I put my hair back over the weekend and noticed the very bare spots above my temples on the sides. Really bummed me out. I guess it does have something to do with the surgery and happens months later. Very weird. Had many surgeries and this has never happened before.

Good luck with your hair too my friend. They all are saying it does grow back and sometimes better than ever. ; )

Peace,

Judy
