Hi ,

First, congratulations on the 87 lbs WTG!!!! as for the hair loss, I

experienced quite a bit of it myself and it is now coming back and I am 10

months out now. I lost hair for about 6 months. I took biotin and stuff too.

Thats really all you can do. My hair is coming in thicker now too. Yes, they say

the window of opportunity is 18 months. My I still have 8 more months to really

make this work for me and then its going to get harder and harder... habits have

to kick in now. Good luck!!!

Adela,

I had my gastric bypass on 02/02/06, have lost 87 pounds and my hair

is still falling out. It started falling out around June. I now

pull it up and wear a curly hair piece around a pony tail. I'm

taking an herbal supplement for hair, skin and nails, biotin,

Bcomplex, etc,etc. My hair had already thinned before the surgery

so I am not happy. I met a girl who worked in the hospital who said

she lost " 1/4 " of her hair but that it all came back in. Does

anyone else out there have any experience with this and does it all

come back in? I am working out in a gym 3 X's a week and am happy

with the 86 pounds but the workouts are 2 hour workouts. I also do

an hour of Tai-Chi once a week. Don't you only have your window of

opportunity the first 18 months? Any feedback on this?

Thanks,
