I've heard Nioxxin really helps along with taking Biotin each day. I am having similar problems with my hair and taking biotin everyday. I haven't tried the Nioxxin yet buy have seen good reviews for it.

How did you know what Nioxin to get? So many different formulas!

Nutri-ox from Sally's Beauty Supply has helped me pre=op with some hair regrowth. It is not expensive compared to Nioxin so I use it everyday and my stylist noticed the regrowth. I would also recommend a flat Iron and some thermal care spray. You will be able to style it more with a flat iron and with a little product on it give it some control. My other trick, when I am really annoyed by a light spot, I use my eyebrow powder and color the light scalp. Looks awesome. heheheh Enjoy!!

I went into Sally's Beauty Supply today asking about it. They do have it for color treated hair but she seemed to think it wasn't necessary to get until I start to lose hair/ if I lose hair. What is the % of people who do experiece hair thinning after surgery? Is it something to worry about?

I use the Nioxin System 3. I am pre-op with fine/thin hair already, so thought I might try giving my hair a boost and hopefully have my hair at least stronger by the time I go through this part. My hairdresser recommended this to me, but there is a online tool you can use on Nioxin's website that helps determine which system to use.... http://nioxin.com/ Go to the Consultation Tool :)

I love your new do! Very cute :)

I am so worried about this too! I have very fine, straight hair. Right now it's shoulder length, One thing that could help is blonde highlights- which will thicken the hair shaft, making your hair appear thicker. I have tried nioxin products but found the Shampoo too drying for my hair. There is a gel/serum that you can put on the roots, that my friend swears by, but I have never used it. My good friend does my hair, and has for years. One thing we thought of was hair extensions for thickness rather length. I still don't know what I will do, but cutting it all off works for me too! There is another product on the market called Keranique that is available. I think I may try that.... anyone else use this???

      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.
