Ok so im not the kind of person that like to participate to discussions on the forum but anyway i feel like i can help everyone for this! Like you, im worried about Hair loss but i found the solution to be honnest... I use this product that is made in france, the name is "phyto paris" they re specialised for hairloss. Anyway, everyone there is buying this for hair loss and it work! I guarantee! So i use the capsule and a thing i put in my hair after the shower. I also use nioxin for Shampoo and take capsules of nutricap. Really try this, especially the product from france i told you about!

Really, i know what everyone is feeling for this and until now what im using is the best

Good luck! :)

Can you maybe get the bottles that you are using and type what they say please :0) I looked up what you wrote already and there are a ton of Phyto products so I don't know which ones to use. I am having minimal hairloss but I would love to try these. Thank you for your help. :D

I started losing hair at two months out. I cut it short so it wouldn't be as noticeable. I took the Biotin and the Vitamins and it didn't help. I am at six months out and it has finally stopped. Thank you God!!

I posted a few weeks ago as I was going in to see my stylist and since then I've started going in for weekly scalp/hair treatments. The products I'm using are Rene Furterer from Paris and are amazing. This product is high end and is used in high end salons around the world and will be found being used on celebrities during NY fashion week, sets, etc. as the products are awesome. I have used these products for the past couple of years, but that being said, I have now switched to part of the line that is used for thinning hair as well as new growth, etc. I'm going to give you a list of the products I'm using and tell you how they are being used. If there's any way possible you can get on board and use these products you will see a difference. Today was my 3rd week going to the salon for a treatment (can do these yourself at home, but I go to the salon because I know my stylist does a much better job than I can do) and I am already seeing regrowth. I am still losing hair and will probably continue until I reach the end period for that, but at least I am now seeing regrowth from these products which I was not seeing before. I am hopeful that I've started on these products in time to keep the loss from being too noticeable to anyone else. Below you will find all of the products I'm using and a link to each product so you can read about it for yourself. As for where to buy, there is a salon locater on the Rene Furterer website so you can find someone local to you who carries these products. The products are awesome to begin with, but now that I'm using the ones specifically for thinning, Hair loss, and aged and damaged hair; I can really see a huge difference which has given me hope. With my weekly scalp treatments, I can actually feel the blood flow as it's being applied and that is just amazing to be able to feel the products working! Good luck and please let me know if you have any questions. I am NOT stylist or rep for this company, but I do believe in their all natural products. I do not want to use Nioxin because I learned that our hair can become addicted to the product so even though it promotes growth, it will start falling out again once that product is stopped. The thing I love about the Rene Furterer line is that it's all natural so that is not going to happen because there are no harsh chemicals for the hair/scalp to become reliant on.

Okay--products I'm using and how along with links so you can see and read about each individual product

I haven't lost any hair yet (knock on wood) and I was sleeved Oct. 2nd. Since my sleeve surgery I've dyed it three times' date=' relaxed it twice, and had highlights put in. I've always done a lot to my hair when it comes to chemicals and my hair is so thick that most people think it's fake. My hair is the healthiest its ever been.....thick, shiny, soft, etc. I eat a lot of Protein and still drink about 2 Protein shakes a day. I get about 100+ grams (sometimes 150 grams) of Protein a day and I eat about 100g of carbs a day. I take my Vitamins when I remember which is about twice a week and I just added a Iron pill and take that about once a week or whenever I start to feel a little tired. I may start losing in a month or 2 but so far I haven't noticed a difference in my hair at all. I've been reaching my protein goals since 1 month post op. Sixty grams of protein is the minimum but I think most people need around 90 grams or more, depending on how active you are. I also refuse to take Biotin because supposedly it makes you grow more unwanted hair all over your body and I'm dealing with that enough lol. My advice is to up your protein, possibly aim for 100 grams.[/quote']

I just read your post. You are now six months post op, how are you coping. Has anything happened with Hair loss? Your note was the only one that said there was no hair loss. Is that still the case?

I can say, at 27 months, my hair is finally growing back in, and is almost as thick as it was before. It was really falling out hard until just a few months ago. I have a bunch of short hairs sticking out all over, but at the roots it looks pretty good. I dont know why... but glad I got here!

Did u use Biotin

I used Biotin for a while with no success... Around the time when my hair stopped falling out in handfuls I was taking 50 mg zinc caps...it gave me an upset stomach so I quit after a week.... don't know if this made a difference, but shortly after that the Hair loss stopped. I read somewhere that was the last ditch effort for stopping hairloss...after getting more Protein, biotin... I don't remember the rest of the list...I also started eating more calories. Actually, I think this is what did it. My body went out of starvation mode. Just my personal guess there...Perhaps it just took time. I'm not sure if it can be avoided... a few people say they don't have it happen... but many more say they do. Get yourself a great haircut, use a gentle root lift product if you need more volume.I used gentle shampoos and good conditioners and a hair catcher in the tub!

Sorry I'm just now reading your comment but I still haven't lost any hair yet. It will probably happen eventually but in a couple of days I will be 7 months post op and so far I haven't noticed any shedding or clumps of hair falling out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
