Suggestion for hair loss



Recommended Posts

So I'm 6 months post op and have been having horrible hair loss! It's been pretty depressing :/ my mom told me to try garnier fructis fight fall and I've only used it today and it has worked wonders for me! I used both the Shampoo and conditioner and my Hair loss was reduced by at least 70 percent! Best part is that it is cheap and you can pretty much find it anywhere! I bought mine at wal mart. I wanted to share the wealth since I know that many of us are or will be going through the same thing. Let me know how it works for you guys!

I am taking so much Biotin that the beautician said I should not lose any hair. I have have strong healthy thick hair. I do the chewable biotin from GNC I love the taste of them.

I've been taking Biotin since immediately post-op and starting at 3.5 months post op, the Hair loss started. Not sure if it's not as severe bc of the Biotin, bc it's pretty significant. I am using Nioxin but will try the Garnier...thanks.

My hair loss started at 3 months. Lost about half the thickness of my hair.< /p>

Now at 6.5 months, it's slowing and growing back!

It gets better, hang in there!

I noticed the day that I was able to intake at least 60 gm of Protein, my hair lost stopped. My hair is pretty thick, so i only noticed the hair lost while washing it daily in the shower. It was my notice that the day prior my protein intake level as under 60 grams. So I started adding nuts as a daily snack which help me reach my daily protein goals. Hair loss stopped for me after 4 mons post op.

Thank you for this tip!!! I am 4.5 months post op, and I started losing SO much hair a couple weeks ago. After only a couple weeks, I have lost at least 50% hair volume. I fear I will be bald in a couple more weeks! It is so bad, I try not to brush my hair much. I barely pick through my hair and I have a huge ball of hair in my hand! I am SO going out and buying this tonight! I will let you know how it works.

      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.
