No. Nothing works. It is temporary though. Some people lose hair and start taking or applying something. When the Hair loss stops, they attribute it to whatever they took/applied. What happened, though, is that the hair loss abated on its own.

I use it. I'm a little over 9 months out. Have I lost hair? YES. Could it have been worse? Yes, way worse. It seems that I'm the only one that notices. I can't tell you if the product helped lessen it or not. I can tell you it makes my hair smell and feel really nice.

I understand nothing will stop it but looking for something to stimulate growth

I use level 3 (as my hair is color treated). I started using it after my surgery. I wash my hair with the Shampoo every 3 days and condition it everyday. I love the way it smells and makes my hair feel. My hair stylist asked me last time if I wanted my hair thinned (so I took that as a good sign!). Don't know if it truly helped, but mentally it did.

I am still pre op but have been dealing with Hair loss recently...possibly due to stress or the depression medicine I am on but I just bought some Nioxin to try and stimulate growth or at least stop the loss especially since I am going to lose some after surgery. I've only used it a few times so far but I do like it. I am not sure if it works or not but so far I am happy with how It makes my hair feel. I got the level 5 because I haven't had any color on recently. I bought it from Amazon, the whole system which is 1 liter bottles of Shampoo and conditioner and the scalp treatment for $60...not cheap but cheaper than I had found it elsewhere

I use it daily. I still have tons of hair coming out, and its been about 19 months out for me. My Hair loss seems to happen in cycles. I'm just using the Nioxin to also stimulate growth too. Nobody else can tell that I'm losing hair like crazy, so thats good. It does smell nice, but its a bit pricer. I've been considering takng Biotin too......

      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.
