My hair is falling out :(



Recommended Posts

My surgeon told me this was a possibility, but since I hadn't been plagued by many of the post-op issues, I thought I could cruise past this one.

Not so much.

I was going to buy Biotin, but I wasn't sure if there was a certain dosage we should stick to? There were 500 mcg, 1mg, 1000 mcg etc, etc.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Also, what brand do you use? I use Nature Made Biotin 2500 mcg. I was told by the surgeon to use Biotin faithfully every day 3000 mcg.

I have had hair falling out and new hair growing in since 4 months post op. It just stopped. I am hardly losing hair now at 20 months. I have new hair all different lengths all over the place. It fell out and started growing back in for the last 16 months.

I used Folicure extra care Shampoo every other day. On the opposite days, I used Nexxus Dualiste Anti-Breakge shampoo and conditioner.

Where did you buy these? I can't remember seeing them at HEB.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
