Ok, I am sure someone else has posted about this somewhere..Since being banded last year my already fine hair is just getting thinner and thinner. It falls out if I brush it too much, dry it too long or flat Iron it.

I have stopped styling my hair and decided to just keep it up becuase I am so embarassed by how it looks. The breaking is making it look like I have layers, and not flattering ones!!! What do I do? A friend who had gastric reccomended Biotin which I have been taking but it doesnt seem to help.

I considered cutting it so that it may look fuller if shorter but I am terrified that it will never grow and keep breaking until I have to have a pixie length cut.

Has anyone found anything that works??? HELP!!!

I am about 4 months out and I am also losing my hair. I have been for about a month. I had blood work done and it is not due to Iron, Protein, B12, or thyroids. There are other posts out here that recommned Biotin Vitamin supplements and Nioxin shampoo. Others mentioned that low fat in the diet may be an issue.

All the posts say that it will grow back though. Good luck, I know how you feel to lose your hair, it is not a good feeling.

Recently there was a good post on this subject, maybe if you use the search feature you can find it. Anyway, it talked about how the hair is on a 3 month cycle so the loss today is probably from whatever was going on 3 months ago and if you are short on the B vitamins the Biotin should help about 3 months after you start taking it. I am losing a lot of hair, too, but not from one place specifically so I try not to fret. Pixie may be cute and time saving for you!!!
