Hey WLS Fam... I'm 6 days pre op and I'm hearing a lot about how your hair thins out. Please tell me about your experience right after surgery? How did you handle it?

I'm still pre-op too, but I've been using the Garnier Fall Fight Shampoo and can tell its helping with Hair loss. I got the tip from a friend who is a few months post-op and has significantly slowed the hair loss with the shampoo.

I'm 5-1/2 months post op and have had very little hair loss. I take Biotin every day and use anti breakage Shampoo.< /div>

I take Biotin too. How many mg or IU's do you take and when after surgery did you start taking them.

I'm almost four months out and have taken Biotin everyday. I also use Wen. I was taking 5000 mcg but I stepped up to 10000 mcg. Good luck

Oh and the MOST important thing is keeping your Protein up. When I have days I want to give up or say screw it, my hair keeps me motivated to get it in.

Using goid products helps. Dont go cheap with your hair care. Get hair cut often and use treatments and your hair will look great even if a few,strands go. I lost some hair. It came back. No worries. I have never taken.special Vitamins for hair. My nut says that is a farse. We will all lose a little but it comes back.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
