suejersey 263 Posted June 13, 2013 Unfortunately no suggestions but here to commiserate! I already have thinner hair it is getting to the point where I am afraid of literal bald spots, not just thinning. I am 8 months out, a lot of people say months 6 - 9 are the worst. So I am hoping it stops soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lapoore 0 Posted June 13, 2013 Ok my NUT said to make sure that you are getting all your Proteins in and that will help with the Hair loss. I haven't had my surgery yet and this is my major worry. I already have thin hair to begin with and I can't afford to loss any. Goodluck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShelPrice 70 Posted June 16, 2013 I'm researching as this is a concern of mine.

Guest Posted June 16, 2013 When the time comes, I'm going to get a weave. I have long hair & don't intend on cutting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrschenoweth 0 Posted June 23, 2013 I feel like I'm going bald too!!! I take 20K mcgs of Biotin a day, and that doesn't seem to help. I am about 4.5 months post op. I don't know if a weave would work, since the hair is falling out by the roots. Don't you have to connect the weave to existing hair? Someone else said Fructise fall out Shampoo worked miracles. I'm going out tonight to buy some! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novam vitam 117 Posted July 30, 2013 I have noticed by using the fight fall Shampoo, I loose less in the shower.... I'm 5 months post and the Hair loss is devastating. I also use the Topix powder stuff from Sally's and got a pixie cut. I would love to hear from some white girls that got weaves, how they looked, how long they lasted and how much they cost. These are desperate times! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted July 30, 2013 I came into this game with a lot more hair loss than most vsg patients experience after it. I just had surgery last month so I haven't started surgery-related Hair loss yet, but I am sure it's just around the corner. Now I can pretty much hide most of my hair loss with Toppix or Nanogen, but if I lose more, I'm not going to be fooling anyone other than myself. So I have an appointment here tomorrow: http://www.hairforwomenhpi.com/ they do custom hair pieces and wigs for women. Supposed to be one of the best places in the country. I may need to sell off some of my investment funds to be able to afford it, but I think it's worth it. I'll be sure to report back (I have mixed feelings about this, hence the conflicting emoticons) 1 jenlen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
