Garnier Fall Fight Shampoo and conditioner. It contains Biotin... Have heard great reviews in regards to helping with Hair loss

It works great. I have thin hair to start with, before surgery my hair started breaking. I started using this shampoo and conditioner. I have not had any breakage. I am 10 1/2 weeks post op I hope it continues to work.

My doctor's Nurse says, "there are no bald wls patients. hair loss stops when your loss seems to slow down."

I have Biotin but haven't opened it. The last time I took Biotin I broke out in bumps. ALL OVER MY BODY. I'm scared. I'm trying not to take it.

I had a lengthy discussion with my nutritionist at my appointment yesterday. (Hair loss) she said that Iron and zinc are the Vitamins to take as a supplement to Multivitamin and Protein to keep from hair loss/hair health. I've added both into my regimen. She advised the multi Vitamin is not enough and stressed that I should take a daily schedule...mine looks like this

Morning: flinstone chewable' date=' b-12 sublingual, Iron chewable, and my Acid prevention.

4 hrs later: 2 Calcium, Vitamin D 5000 drops (once per week)

4 hrs later: 2 calcium

Night: flinstone chewable, b-complex Vitamin

She has advised that the Flinstones contain the right amt of zinc in one chewable but other nutrients require 2 per day...

I hope that this helps! I have been adamant in talking with her about my nutrients and hair because I also am very afraid of hair loss...[/quote']

Girl, my vitamin/mineral regiment has been basically identical to what yours is and I am still losing like no other :( everyone I've talked to says the same, they took their vites like clockwork and still lost a ton. I think it's just inevitable. Good news though is it grows back! Lol so a couple years from now we'll all have our great hair back AND be skinny! :) score! Lol :)

EEEEEEKKKKK I sure as heck hope this is not so! Either way, like everyone says, I've never seen a bald weight loss patient, and it grows back.

Wow. Its just hair get a grip. Guess going thru 8 yrs of chemo has given me such a different outlook. Its a temporary thing theres so much more to you than your hair. As well as so much more to be thankful for like your improved health now that we are losing those pounds

Congratulations on making it through chemo. I understand you may feel this way, but to many women Hair loss is very frightening, and for many WLS patients, it is the first time we have lost ours.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
