Hair loss may or may not occur with patients--that's the bad news. The good
news, is that it does grow back. In some cases your hair may be coarser
than normal, curly instead of straight, straight instead of curly, etc.
Some patients experience some of these changes, some do not. There is
nothing to fully prevent the hair loss, nor guarantee the exact same
"hair condition" as prior to surgery. Keep up your supplements
to high values, eat protein, exercise, and drink fluids. You body has to
"retrain" itself after surgery, and hair loss is a common factor
from the trauma of any surgey. These surgery could be gallbladder removal,
child birth, appendix removal, etc. DAVE

I found that taking 5,000 mcg of Biotin a day has helped a lot.

My issue was zinc. I started to take hair skin and nails and it stopped
falling out started to grow back in and is healthy and soft. You may want
to have your zinc level checked. I tried taking just a zinc supplement but
it upset my stomach badly.

Take a B complex and watch your hair, nails and skin just blossom! I take
a B-100 on sundays (weekly) and WOW!!!!! Love the results! They have a
smaller dose too "B-50" or just a B-complex....all are basically
the same...different doses... Ask your doc about it and which dose would be
best for you...I tend to malabsorb...so I went with a high dose weekly...

It might be helpful to know what kind of protein you are using, and how
much you are sure you are getting each day...?
Kind regards

I think you are really doing great. Now as for the hair, I take Biotin 2000
a day . It will not grow your hair, but it will keep it healthy.. Give it a
try..
Good Luck

Hi there, I am only 7 weeks post op but have not had any hair issues so
far. Just had my 6 week post op check up a few days ago and my doctor was
impressed that I haven't had any hair loss. He said to continue my
supplement program and not change a thing...it is: An ounce of ALIVE!
Liquid supplement (beware, it's really nasty tasting, but full of
everything you NEED, found at most health food stores) each morning, 1
Sublingual B12, 2-3 chewable calcium and 2500mg of Vit D (it's actually
5000mg powder filled capsule that I divide in half and mix in soymilk, I
put the other half back in the bottle for the next day). It is tasteless.
I get this from Bariatric Advantage.
I think the Vit. D is really the trick...but if you have a supportive and
helpful doctor/staff, ask them for sure.

Hi I had the same problem when I had my weight loss surgery (March 7,
2007) and after losing 223 in 20 months my niece was able to help me. She
is a hairdresser and has alot of chemo patients come to her who use the
shampoo Nutri-Ox. She told me about it this about 8 months ago and man you
ought to see my hair. It looks healthy and shiny and full of body and it
has grown so well I've had to have it cut around every 4 to 6 weeks. She
also recommended the Nutri-Ox conditioner to use and it works great too.
I've only been able to find it in stores called Sally's where hairdresser's
buy supplies. It cost about 6 something a bottle but if you get the
discount card that is good for a year you save 20% which makes it around 5
or so but both bottles cost me around 10 something. It last along time and
alot of my family who has thinning hair (husband and his sister) have
started using it and noticed a big improvement. Hope this helps!
