My hair is falling out

  I'm so sad, my hair is falling out. I just started taking Biotin, is there anything else I can do or take? Or does it just have to run it's course? Kelly

This is normal after WLS.  Best thing to do is get as much protein as you can, take your biotin(as much as you can).  Hang in there! HUGS!

That's what I thought. Thanks for posting. This has really got me down. I will try and get in more protein. I take 3 Biotin a day. Kelly

Kelly, you have a BUTTLOAD of beautiful hair!!!  So I can understand you being upset about seeing some of it fall out.  But look at it this way - THAT MEANS YOU'RE LOSING FAT!!!   WOO HOO!!!  I knew I was stalled those 3 months, 'cuz the hair loss slowed WAY down, too!  And as it picked back up, I could tell I was losing again!  So look at it as a sign, do what Sandie said, and remember - THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS!!!  And it'll be SOOOOO worth it!!

Darla, Yes, my hair has always been the one part of me I liked. That why this is so hard. Thanks for posting though, I hope it passes soon...... Kelly

Hey Kelly ~ Yep...  Its that time...!  Unfortunately there is no stopping it however the protein and biotin will help with strong regrowth..  Hang in there...!! 

Dana, Thanks, I'm going to try even harder with the protein, I got some recipes from Lucy & Alayna off their posts, so hopefully it will be enough.  It was nice to meet you at coffee. It's such a fun group. Kelly

Most of my hair is fake so I havne't noticed anything yet. I noticed yesterday that My bangs and the top of my head (which is my own hair) has gotten really itchy. I am wondering if that is a sign of hair loss to come. My only concern is my bangs really, 'cuz that is just too hard to fake.

Is Biotin a vitamin? Like if I went to GNC and just asked for it would they know what that is?

Yes, it's a vitamin. I just went to Snyders and bought a bottle. But I cut the pills in half, just in case their too big, I wouldn't want anything to get stuck. I take 3 a day, am, afternoon, evening. Kelly

Oh, Kelly.  What a bummer.  You have  beauiful hair.  It will grow back. As others have said - its just part of WLS.  Hang in there. KA P.S.  That is one thing I won't mind.  My hair is so short and fly away that I look forward to wearing bandanas this spring.
