female only Help With The Hair-Do

[RaquelMNOP 1]

I'm 4 months post-op and I'm down 102lbs. My doc said it's phenomenal, but my hair is really, really thinning. It seems no matter how I style it, you can see scalp and bald Patches. I feel fantastic, but am self conscious about my hair. Anyone else had similar experience?

I just started losing some of my hair so I'm thinking I need to get some Biotin caplets and take them myself. I believe they said there is a Shampoo out there to use as well.

I just started using the Garnier Fall Fight. I'm going to check into the Biotin.< /p>

#1 CONGRATULATIONS!! That's amazing!! My surgeon advises to take 5000 mg of Biotin daily. I found some sublingual ones at CVS

Thank you both so much for your help. I'm feeling more optimistic.

I am using nioxin Shampoo and conditioner. Have always had thin hair so have been using for several years. Also been taking Biotin since 2 months before surgery, and using minoxidil (women's rogain) every morning and night. Today is my four month anniversary and so far no Hair loss. I know it is still possible so i continue taking all supplements. Hopefully I will be the rare exception. If not i am alsohoping to accept whatever happens knowing it will growback. I bought a small hair piece just in case.

do you think it would help to do some of these things pre op like the Biotin and the special shampoos. I am already pretty thin. Was thinking I could start some of this prior if anyone thinks it could help.

Vicki, I have been on 5000 mg of Biotin daily for about a month. I figure any preemptive care would be all that much better!! There is another Shampoo post ops talk about a lot - Fall Out or something. I think it's by Garnier, but I have to use the rest of my Pantene before I purchase!

Just a warning... I got the garnier fall fight and didn't like it. Made my hair super greasy and heavy and built up.

I really have tried almost every thickening, body building product on the market and the best I have ever found is nioxin products. You can often find at discount at Marshals. They come in very large sizes and last for a long time if you are careful and Water down some. They are pretty expensive and if you are friends with a hairstylist they may buy ffor you with some discount.

Try anything as early as possible.

I read the fine print and it days it stop hair "falling" from breakage. That's not my problem, mine is falling out by the roots. I'm going to save my money and not buy it.

Thank you for the heads up! I have to wash daily or my hair gets really greasy!
