Furby036 60 Posted October 3, 2012 So my hair started falling out yesterday and hasn't stopped. When does it end? I'm using Nioxin Shampoo now. Is there anything else I can do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jordan1923 27 Posted October 3, 2012 Some of the people have started taking Biotin to stop Hair loss. Most seem to agree it works but it also grows hair everywhere else at excellerated rates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seraphina 60 Posted October 3, 2012 There's nothing you can do. Save your money. If you are destined to lose your hair during this process like so many of us, then you will. I got tired of agonizing over it (I really, really agonized) and bought myself some fabulous wigs. They are made so well these days that they are undetectable. Going bald was a blessing in disguise. Wigs mean no more bad hair days! (P.S. My pic shows my real hair prior to surgery. It's gone now. Whatever. I'd rather be skinny.) 1 sdeb418360 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tinka504 46 Posted October 4, 2012 My hair started thinning about 3 weeks after surgery. I've since then started taking Biotin and I have noticed little hairs poking up after I fix my hair, so its coming back. I think it had a lot to do with the anesthesia, and rapid weight loss.

ItsaMeThing 5 Posted October 5, 2012 OMG!!! I have really long hair and I get a handful every time I brush it! I am taking sub-lingual Biotin, B12, 2 prenatal and 3 hair, nail and skin Vitamins per day!!!! Super Scared! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IrishEyes 59 Posted October 5, 2012 I'm pretty scared too!! I have pretty long hair too. I actually noticed a little hair lost preop. I think I am going to have to get it cut soon. Maybe that will make the loss more subtle, visually. 1 ItsaMeThing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
