My hair was also falling out (in large amounts.) I was not taking a Multi-Vitamin and told the Dr. He suggested that I get the chewable multi-vitamins in which I did. It has been very helpful and I do not notice my hair falling out as much! Good luck!

:thumbup:Hi,

Firstly ,don´t panic . It wont last for ever only a couple of months. secondly my Doctor precribes SOLVAZINC,that is a zinc supplement in the UK. I have read other posts on here where they have been prescribed Biotin. Either of these can be bought across the counter here but don´t know about the US. Lastly use a good hair thickening Shampoo ,conditioner. I also used Gliss volume mousse and VO5 gel spay. All helped during the difficult time.

At Walmart you can get capsules of Biotin very cheap. Just open one up and sprinkle in your shake. It is tasteless. My Doctor said that the hair loss was due to rapid weight loss. When your weight stabilizes, it will grow back. I promise, you won't go bald. But do get your Protein, your Vitamins, and your Biotin and enjoy the ride.

God Bless!

I watch my Protein intake AND take Biotin each day. I have thin hair so I wanted to make sure I did not lose too much. So I started the Biotin ASAP after banding. I have lost very little hair, and would even dare to say it is the normal Hair loss that you are supposed to have each day.

I have several friends that have had bariatric surgery and those that experienced hair loss, it was only temporary and it all grew back.

I have to agree with the other readers. I have not had the band yet (3/27/09) and at a pre surgery seminar I was told by the nutritionist that you need to take a Multi-Vitamin daily as well as Calcium and Biotin. This will prevent hair lost. I have a short cut and was not too worried about the hair lost, however my girl friend has long hair and she asked that question because the same thing happened to her when she was pregnant. So get these items and you should be okay, and if not call your doctor. GOOD LUCK!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
