New member - 1st 2 questions.

Has anyone had any hair loss? Any thing to say about hair loss? Can it be prevented?

Also, stretch marks. Do they always happen with weight loss?

Thanks for the input.

I'm scheduled to do the lap banding on 10/17. Wish me luck.

I have had some hairloss, make sure to get your recommended protein!!! That is important! Get it all!! From what I've read on the board, some experience it worse than others, but it is not really preventable. Some have tried hair supplements, but it didn't prevent it. Don't worry it will grow back! That is what I have read on other threads here. If you don't get your protein in it will be worse! I haven't heard of strech marks with weight loss, weight gain is another story though. I'll search the posts here to see if I can come up with anything. Best of luck!! Use this site's search engine to reseach any questions you might have, it will help you! I have found out, that ANYTHING you experience at least one person has experienced it as well and you can read their posts for support!
