Omg! I washed my hair for the 1st time with Garnier Fall Fight Shampoo(4 days post-op) and my hair was literally falling in clumps even when blow drying.

If this is now, I would hate to see my Hair loss at 3-6 months post op.

When did everyone begin taking Biotin? I could only start today Multivitamins.< /p>

What Shampoo does everyone else use?

4 days post op sounds a little too soon to be losing hair due to deficiency. It is likely it is some response to just having a surgery. I am almost 7 weeks out with no issues-yet...I am not taking Biotin yet but am looking at taking it. I get all my Protein in and then some and also take all my Vitamins. Hoping I don't have major issues..

I started taking Biotin a couple months before my surgery. I know exactly what you mean about the Fall Fight Shampoo and conditioner, I used it twice and both times I lost more hair than with regular shampoo and conditioner. I was only two months post-op the first time and about 2.5 months post-op the second time. I got rid of it and will never use it again.

ok so I have used the garnier Shampoo and conditioner since I was 3 months out. I am now over a year. It isnt the shampoo... or if it is maybe you are having an allergic reaction to an ingredient in it. I am no expert just giving my personal experience. I did start losing hair at month 3 and it did stop around month 6. Make sure you are getting all your Protein in. I take Biotin as well, figure it cant hurt. If you are 4 days out and losing hair it could be a side effect of surgery... maybe the trauma of it? Good luck.

I have not had surgery yet ..expecting to around may-June...I started taking Biotin about a year ago..I am a hairstylist and I can tell u that Pureology Shampoo is the absolute best!! It's on the pricey side..but because u use very little of it it last a long time! You can only get it from your stylist or if u know someone with a license ..may can order online? But it will change the quality of your hair ..money well spent!

There is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent the Hair loss. 4 days out usually is from anesthesia. Taking Biotin only helps with the regrowth. No matter if you get all your Protein or Vitamins in. I started losing at 3 months as well which seems pretty normal 3-4 months post op

I'm at a little over 3 months and I'm losing a bit more than normal. I'm not worried about it, I guess, because its normal and it will grow back. Then again I have my hair thinned every 4-6 weeks because I have so much of it. I've heard Biotene is a good Shampoo too.

Okay went to doctors today. Ask about Hair loss and basically the only way to try to avoid is to make sure to get my Protein and Vitamins. But basically if you going to lose some there no magic pill to stop it. she assured me I wont go bald. I asked her about the supplement and she said I could take it. but really she didnt think it would make a difference. she said it would just be one more thing too take. And my money too spend. She did say hair loss happens between 3 to 6 months if it happens. she said it is usually minimum.

      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.
