Are any of you losing your hair? Mine seems to be coming out lately. When I shower and wash my hair, I have to clean hair out of the drain 3-4 times, quite a bit of hair each time. And my hair is short!! Help!! Does anyone know if this is caused by lapband surgery? Or does losing weight cause this? Or maybe I'm lacking something in my diet? I've lost 34 lbs. since my surgery on Aug. 25, 2004. I've had one fill of 1.2cc. Any help or advice would really be appreciated.

There's been a lot of discussion on this board about what causes this. Some say a lack of Protein, some say that's not it. Some think it's a Vitamin deficiency. It's happened to me too, and I'm 16 months out from surgery. My hair is much thinner now than when I started. I don't know what causes it. I'm about ready for Rogaine.

hi, sub3

i posted a similar question. i was worried too, and they reply, was very encouraging. they said, food , you need to eat protein, shakes, your protein shakes and vitmans,

since you'll be eating small portions, you'll need to keep health, or your body healthly and fit. be careful. their are more reasons,too but, for now, these made sence to me..

you'll soon see new growth, stay healthly,

best of health,
