I would love feed back on this. Typically with diets that are kind of drastic - you tend to see hair loss - it might be temporary - but have any of you noticed this? Or is there something special we should make sure we have to make sure we have enough nutrients to minimize this?

I know in the past when ive dieted, ive seen stands of hair come out..and while that is normal to an extent...i would like to do everything i can to minimize this.

Thanks for your insight!

i think this question would best be answered by those in the "postop" rather than "preop" forum... see if any there have had this symptom.

I do know that my step-mom had good results taking prenatal Vitamins for hair loss...though her hairloss was not related to a diet. there could be Vitamin deficiency during dieting that causes the hairloss... a supplement would fix it in this case... just need to identify the vitamin??

good luck!!

true..thought of t hat after i posted..i 'll try there! thanks!

I am 3 months out and have really started to notice the hair loss.

I'm taking extra Vitamins....but it is still thinning..

They say it is just par for the course and that it will grow back. I sure hope so!!

Try taking some biotin supplements. There is also some shampoo's that might help. My hair thinned out a bit. Unfortunately this is a side effect of drastic weight loss. Mine is coming back now. I noticed it because I have short hair and use gel, but switched hair products and all is good. Take care

wow..looking at your stats, you have done incredible bear bandit. are you just feeling WONDERFUL? did you find it difficult during this process? I get banded 7/7 and i'm soooo ready and excited!
