Has anyone experience thining hair?



Recommended Posts

I am right now.... I always seem to loose hair after having anesthesia. I had surgery in November and again last month.... It's an embarrassing thing, but there doesn't seem to be much I can do about it.

I am taking Biotin. Which helps with Hair loss after sleeve surgery. My hair is not falling out. Even my legs are hairier lately .. :). Now I have to shave my legs again.

I've been shedding and have started using a Shampoo called CLEAR. I also make sure to take my Multivitamin it seems to have slowed the hair from shedding so much. I've also heard Biotin works.

Most of us have lost hair. Many posts here. Buy a wig, cut your hair; rather have thin hair and be thin lol!!!

i am a hairdresser, and Biotin is a good supplement to take to help with hair growth. ive also been experiencing Hair loss after surgery, luckily i was blessed with a thick head of hair, so its not very noticable to other people. my only other suggestion would be to make sure youre getting in your recommended daily amount of Protein, since our hair is made up of about 90% protein!

Problem is the NUT says you are eating too much Protein (me). hair now coming out at 5+ months. So the Biotin has not helped my hair or my nails LOl but I am coping with it all. It might be worse without the Biotin? I could care less, I feel great. There are great wigs if it gets worse.

It's not about the amount of Protein it's about the type and usage and the ingredients. My dr. Provided me with corner stone Protein Shake and that extremely helped me with Hair loss. You should ck out their website and contact them if you want. Slimlifesolutions.com

I had a problem with thinning hair before. I started using Biotin and a hair treatment called redken intraforce. It seems to be helping a lot. I actually have a lot of my clients using it and they say they same thing that their hair feels fuller.

      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.
