I've read that biotin helps and that biotin doesn't help and that collagen powder helps and that it doesn't help. I am trying collagen right now because someone posted a link saying the FDA has said high doses of biotin mess up your blood lab results.

I didn't experience hair loss, and I'm almost a year out, so hopefully I won't. I don't know if I was just one of the lucky ones or if it was anything I did. I'm thinking I was just a lucky one, but I'll let you know what I did just in case. I get 100g of protein daily. I take a bariatric multivitamin and biotin daily.

I had thin hair to start. Hair loss started in earnest last month. Now starting to slow up but can see day light now. Bought toppix hair fibers after trying extensions and about 5 diff wigs.

Even people who lose weight through diet and exercise will lose hair a little bit - I did the first time I tried losing weight before deciding on surgery. I lost a lot of hair around month 4, but it was only for a couple months. The part that bugged me the most was how dry and brittle my hair got. I was doing an argon oil hair mask once a week to keep my hair hydrated, and went though so much conditioner... I've heard that biotin, omega-3, and iron can all help, but it is hard to verify with anything scientific.

I lost a ton of hair about 4 - 7 months post op. Probably about half of my hair. I swear by the Hair and nails gummies that have biotin in them. That and getting my protein in really helped. I am 1 1/2 years post op and my hair is thicker than it was before surgery. HTH!
