[Dana]

Its been 5 months since my surgery , and im doing great! Im worried abt my hair falling out though, I hav tons of curly hair , but its been coming out ALOT lately , its everywhere! im afraid its gonna thin out if it keeps up , did this happen to anybody? Im really nervous, i take my vitamins and zinc , i dont know what else to do !!!!!

Dana, I had the same problem, as I'm sure everyone does. My surgeon told me that vitamin deficiency, lack of protein, and rapid weight loss all contribute to hair loss. I took biotin and zinc and tried to get enough protein. Those are my only suggestions. Just be assured that the hair loss will subside...but in the meantime, it is very annoying and bothersome! Take care!

I'm shedding like a sheep-dog Dana! Since we had the same surgeon, I wouldn't be worried. I asked Gina about it and she said it's our bodies way of dealing with the shock of such rapid weight loss.....not a sign of vitamin issues.

Nioxin shampoo and conditioner and Biotin in pills. That is the magic formula.
