Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Fashia I had that same concern as well. I've had several people tell me that yes they lost some hair but it seems it always came back. Good luck to you and I'll be saying a prayer for your safe and complete recovery. I have my surgery the weekend before you so we will be starting around the same time. How are you feeling.......... this is the first time I've seen your name.... where are you from? Barb W.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Fashia, Many people lose their hair in the beginning when they are losing weight fast. The doctor recommends zinc for the hair loss, it grows back after while so do not worry too much about it. There were some very funny posts about this a few months ago. I would like to ask if their hair has already regrown... it was and I believe. NinaFashia Flowers <brook_lynflowers@...> wrote: I was wondering has anyone incountered any hair loss?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Yep, I am one that had/have the problem. It started about the 3rd month post op and no matter what I have tried, it is still coming out. But I think it has slowed up some. I only wash my hair twice a week because I have very dry curly hair, and that is when it comes out the most. Luckily I started out with a lot of hair and I still have a lot of hair but one of my comments was that my cloth car seat looks like sasquatch threw up a hair ball on it.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hey Fashia, I lost a LITTLE hair. I think if you take your vitamins and minerals and eat a good balanced diet, you will be fine. I tend to always lose a little after anesthesia. But, it always grows back. Talk to Dr Aceves and he will let you know what things you need in your diet. I am so excited for you!!! I just got back from Mexicali and told Dr Aceves to take great care of you. He smiled as if to say, I always do :0) Re: Re: Hair Loss? I was wondering has anyone incountered any hair loss? I'm scheduled to have the Lap Band with my mom for Thanksgiving.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I had my surgery 3 months ago and I am starting to find hair everywhere. Nina I am going to try taking zinc. Is this around the time when anyone else starting loosing their hair. How long did it take to start coming back. Deborah F. > > Fashia I had that same concern as well.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Normal hair loss is 50-100 hairs PER DAY...now, that doesn't mean you arent' losing more than normal, but as hair is shed, a new one is exiting the follicle...so it is constantly being replaced. I recommended Nutri-Ox shampoo and hair care products on the list before, and it DOES help a lot. You can purchase it at any Sally Beauty Supply. Also, you can get vitamins that are specifically formulated for hair,nails & skin...BIOTIN & Protien are the key. I am a barber/hairstylist, and have been for 21 yrs. My best friend works in hair replacement...and believe me, we have seen hair loss from all kinds of things...and believe it or not, some folks experience it more as an after effect of the anesthesia than anything lacking in their diet. I also am a cancer survivor...I was bald when I went to beauty college...take care of the inside of you, and the hair WILL come back!BIG HUGS, AND GOD'S BLESSINGSDawnita MayLowpass, Oregon10/05/05 dob "Iraida" 209/190/135 5ft 3inches"before" photos at: http://dawnita1961.myphotoalbum.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I have Crohn's (for 15 years) and took LDN for 3 months with great results - my Crohn's symptoms cleared up completely. I started to experience pretty significant hair loss so I stopped the LDN in November. Now the hair loss has tapered off, but the Crohn's symptoms are back after I got an intestinal virus (always the way it starts.) So I'm going back on LDN but I'm nervous about the hair loss thing. Has anyone experienced this problem? If so, does it subside after you've been on LDN for some particular period of time? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi, prior LDN I had significant hair loss. I had been using prednisone for 3 months, and before that I had severe anemia, both are often leading to hair loss as a result. Also other Crohns medicine and malnutrition due to the disease itself will often result in hair loss. When I startedusing LDN my hair gradually got better, but it took a year to show good results. I don't know anyone that have suffered hair loss due to using LDN. I have been using LDN for 1 year and 4 months, and I have to say that LDN is the best medicine ever for me. Other Crohns medicines are often giving serious side effects, so when finding LDN the choise was easy. Having Crohns is the same as having hair loss now and then. Our intestines can't take up enough iron, minerals and vitamins. Therefor we need to start using a good nutrition, taking enough vitamins, have regularly bloodworks done, and cook our own food so that we can keep a close watch on the vitamins and minerals intake. We also need to take cod liver oil to get enough vitamin D, E and A. Combining this with LDN will give you a beautiful hair again!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 My uneducated guess is that whilst it seems related to the LDN given what you've described it is unlikely to be directly related. Most people have the opposite happen i.e. they find their hair (and fingernails) grows more quickly and thickly on LDN.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Try taking MSM, most people state their hair and nails grow in much faster with this supplement. I have never heard (in 4 years of being on this site) about hair loss. Aletha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I had severe hair loss but it was associated with tapering of prednisone. Maybe if you had recently tapered then it could be a side effect of that. ------------ --------- --------- ------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
