Re: Desperate for Hair Help

[Guest guest]

Surgery does not make your hair fall out. Rapid weight loss due to loss

of protein in your system does. Any time you go on a diet that makes you

lose weight rapidly, you'll end up losing some hair. Unfortunately,

because surgery makes you lose faster, the hair falls out more easily.

There are ways to remedy that by using either Biotin or Nioxin shampoos

and you can buy hair and nail vitamins at your local drug store or Wal

Mart. It helps...but the hair loss is NOT preventable. On the

upside.....the hair on your legs and various other places grows back

finer than it was before and slower so you don't have to shave as

often.....

Oh you better believe it happens to lots of people. I think (I hope this is

right?) that it is because we are nutritionally and protein challenged.

Seems like the majority have problems but some people do escape it. My doc

told me there was little that could be done about it but that it would go on

for about 6 months and then it would slow down...then stop...then go back to

normal. I am praying he is right.

I lost mine, too. I was about 6months out when it happened to me.

I made a concerted effort to increase my protein intake and that

made the difference. It will come back, even thicker than before.

Just keep an eye on your protein. My episode only lasted about 3

weeeks and it was not noticable to anyone but me! You will be ok. I

was told this is completely normal.
