Pink11 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I will be 3 years post op in May 2014. I had gastric plication. I have lost 45lbs and stayed at that give or take 5lbs. I have noticed in the last year that my hair is thinning and breaking like 6 inches in length. Hs anyone else had this problem? The dr checked all my blood levels and said besides being anemic, everything else is great. I have taken daily vitamins ans b12 since surgery. I just started taking Bariatric vitamins instead, Calcium, Biotin, Probiotics, Raspberry Ketones & Garcinia Cabodia. Any others with the same problem?

Dolittle Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 How's your protein intake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffy1123 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Have you talked with a nutritionist? I would document what you're eating and how much for a few weeks and see if you're getting the right nutrients. Vitamins are great but you also need vegetables, milk, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink11 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I eat lots of protein, shakes and bars too. I've recently been doing Atkins which has more protein than I can even physically eat lol! Yes I talked to the OCC nutritionist ans they put me on all the supplements I listed above. I'm hopeful!
