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!

stress too will cause you to lose hair... take Vitamins and de-stress. Or call your Dr.

: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.

So far I have been lucky no hair loss.

I was told my my doctor and the nutritionist that Hair loss is mainly due to lack of Protein.

I make sure I always eat my 60 grams of Protein a day.

I hope this helps.

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!!!
