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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
