Hi Robyn, 

I experienced this when I was banded in 2009.  You go through a period where you lose more hair than usual.  I'm actually going through this now again because i just had a baby.  I'm taking Biotin which is supposed to help.  You can find it at the pharmacy or any natural products store.  I also find cutting my hair a little shorter helped.  Do not fret, it will grow back :)

hi everyone,

I am to be operated on sept. 20th, one of my concerns is hair loss which starts btwn 3-5 months....

has anyone experienced this? What did u do ?

thanks
Robyn
