Hair loss after bypass?
- Thread starter candie
- Start date
I've read that this can be due to a lack of protein, and or zinc. I've not eaten much meat, but i do drink a lot of milk, as for zinc, i don't know what foods to get that in, but i've not had any trouble other than the usual hair loss i've always had. I always thought i would have a problem with it, but surprisingly not. I'm looking forward to others' responses.

I have not yet expereinced this. I say yet because I have had hairloss every time I have managed to loose more than 40lbs. So I expect it to start any day now. It is common after any anesthesia. My surgeon prescribed zinc & selenium supplements to help with it and I have started them preventatively. Don't really know if that will work but the supplements do help with new growth. Also make sure your protein levels are high during the first few months.

Officially a loser
I lost shed loads whilst on LL and have been told by the bariatric team nurse that I will lose lots after bypass. It is lack of protein & zinc, so I guess it is very important to keep an eye on vitamin intake etc.

Yep i concure with PH (although i hate to admit it ) - keep up your zinc levels and if it continues to fall out see your GP for some selinum.
My hairs been falling out for years so i'm not that worried about it really

You wont need to worry about vits until your through the liquid stage anyway by then you will be able to swallow solids.
The hair lose is apparently a temporary side effect of the bypass and does stop alledgedy, if not you can by some very nice wigs these days

Oh, you, don't scare her! Not one person has gone bald from hairloss after the bypass - it is absolutely temporary and your hair will be back to normal (if you even get hairloss) after about 6 months from when/if you start noticing it.

Has anyone experienced this?Any tips to avoid it?
So far so good, no probs. However, to answer your latter question, asked doc how to avoid it & he said you couldn't really! Thanx!
Still, like I always say, this too shall pass!
