Hi

Just wondering is anyone has experienced hair loss since having the lap band fitted.

I'm now 4 months post op and have noticed my hair thinning. Wondered if anyone had experienced this?

This is normal. My daughter had this happen and we went to a dermatologist. He said that any time your body goes through a major trauma, hair loss will happen and it will come back. She was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and was in and out of the hospital- sometimes for a mo at a time. It's your body's way of fighting.

@ ceow Thank you for your response. I've since ordered some hair growth vitamins. Hoping it helps.

Time will fix it. It's trauma to your body. If you have ever had surgery before or had a serious illness, you probably had it happen before.

@ceow thank you. Just got to wait and see I suppose.

You have to take biotin. At least 10,000 IUs

Look for a really good hair skin and nails vitamin

Eating​ high protein 90 to 100 grams a day helps.

Lap-banded and love it!

Kelp is very good for hair loss following band surgery
