Im Preparing To Be Bald!

[Erin 25]

This Hair loss is unreal! I take all my regular Vitamins, and on top of that I went out and bought all the extras....biotin, silica, mag, even the Shampoo Nioxin at $50 bucks a bottle! ( I was scared because I have super thin hair to begin with!) But nothing slows it or stops it! I mean it is like nothing I have ever seen before! I stopped combing it months ago after I saw what I lost in the comb! I don't do my hair at all anymore till this nightmare is over! When I wash it once a week now......I just "pet" the shampoo on and then gently rinse. I never thought it could be this bad! No joke....it looks like a German Sheppard rubbed against me every time I look down at my shirt! When I talk hair is always in my mouth.....my pillow is covered.....and I'm wearing a hair pin when I cook! I thought maybe I'm not absorbing the vitamins even as well as adream normal gastric bypass patient so I started doubling my biotin....nope. I'm so scared ........but there is nothing I can do. I've decided to start looking at hair extentions and wigs fir when this terrible part is over. It just sucks cause as soon as you loose a bit of weight to start feeling good.....you just want start dressing better and doing your hair......and you can't cause there's not much left! OK. I'm done venting and bitching. Sry

Have you tried upping your Protein intake? I read in my information that hair can breakdown if you aren't getting enough.

Yes I started out with the 60....but when the Hair loss started I started taking 80. There's just nothing. Just prayer now.....lol

Hey Erin,

Look up a product called - http://www.toppik.com/

[Tammy483 162]

know this might seem stupid but it works, along with your Biotin and Protein try this, it has worked wonders for me

1 cup olive oil

1 cup almond oil

2 cup mustard oil ( stinky)

1 cup coconut oil

Mix into a big container and use twice a week before washing your hair, leave it in for a good 5 hours and see the difference, you'll have smooth soft shiny hair and visibly reduced Hair loss. ( warm it a bit before using)

If you have dandruff, melt 2 camphor pieces into the oil.

I have had major hair loss bcoz of my pregnancy, it's all grown back.. Almost

Please try this, I haven't lost any hair

I lost a considerable amount of hair also but the good news is its growing back. I do understand how you feel I was devastated to be loosing my hair also. So hopefully your hair will start to grow back and eventually you will be back to normal.

When do you experience Jair lost? I haven't experience any hair lost yet.

Omg ladies I had to replay to this threat! I'm starting to have hair lost, an it's scaring the heck out of me, I was so confident that I would probably be one of those lucky ones that don't experience such a problem but that isn't the case.

I'm 3 months and 2wks out had lost 70lbs so far and overall been doing great, except that now I started to noticed the hair lost issue. Thankfully I had thick hair, but still I'm very concern.

I need to know from the ones that already had this problem; how long it last? Did you lost all the hair/completely bald? What is the best solution/treatments? And did it grow back like normally or more healthier than before?

I've been told as well as read in several books that the Hair loss typically occurs between months 3 and 8 post op and unfortunately there is not a whole lot you can do to prevent it.
