how long for hair loss???

Hi Al, I was just wondering how long did you go through the "losing hair "stage? It's been about a month for me... I seem to be losing less but , well, I'm getting a little nervous! I was banded 6/13/05.. 284/251/170 5'10" thanks!

Hi, Julie I don't want to sound cavalier about the answer, but the problem will probably keep going until you get your protein levels up. Low protein is what usually causes hair loss. And when all else fails and you can't assuage your fears, call your doctor. Bette (also 5'10"!) December 2003 376/165

Julie, I have some autoimmune issues that cause hair loss for me and I take the Albertson's brand of Hair, skin and nails. It's really cheap and it really does help me. Ask your doc if this is an option for you. I've also heard that pre natal vitamins are great for hair loss and a good daily vitamin as well, but again, check with your doctor first. Hugs, Brigitte

mine was about 3-4 months post op. My dr said that it may not be a protien thing, but more of a reaction to the anesthesia. It is growing back in now, little spikes everywhere.
