I know loosing hair is scary. It was happening to me so I went to the dermatologist. Much to my relief he told me I won't go bald. He said your body goes into a kind of shock with rapid weightloss. Just give it a little time and it should resolve itsself. I have read people using Biotin, don't know anything about it. Best wishes!

I have never tried biotin....but am having some success with Nioxin Shampoo and conditioner.

vlp1968...I am happy to hear that we won't go bald. Mine is getting pretty thin!

I have fine hair anyways so I started taking herbal Biotin and using nioxin Shampoo and conditioner about 2-3 weeks post surgery. I'm 9/10 weeks out now and I'm still "holding my own" on Hair loss.

I got the herbal liquid Biotin on Amazon.com.

Also, I really take care to get at least 60gm of Protein and 60 oz of Water a day and take a multi Vitamin and Calcium.

This is just replacing some of the Vitamins and minerals I gave up along with about 2000 calories a day of junk.

Good luck to you!

Sorry to hear about your Hair loss. I have also lost a scary amt of hair to the point that i have a very thin spot on the top of my head...I take Biotin, tons of Vitamins, Protein up the wazooooo, and nioxin for the last year....No luck...my dermatologist said Nioxin is good at making your hair shiny and thats it...LOL....oh well i would rather be thinking i am doing something than nothing at all. I take 5000 mcg of biotin daily. All my vitamins are chewable or liquids so i am very compliant...If i have done everything I can do and it still falls out, then i will shave it and have a sexy tatoo placed on my head.....who knows...could be kind of fun......onenuttynurse

Yes, take Biotin and use a good shampoo/conditioner combo - it seems to have helped me! :wub:

I also have started losing gobs of hair - I still have plenty, but if it keeps at this rate, it will be thin soon. My dr office said it also could be reaction from the anesthesia.

My hair is also falling out...in handfuls! I thought I was doing good because after 2 months post-op, I still wasn't losing hair, and then wham-o. I take 3000 mg of Biotin religiously, and have been, since surgery day. It's not helping. I am starting the Nioxin regimen every day now, to see if that helps. I hate it. My hair has thinned out so much!
