My shower drain is finally hair free!

[glitter eyes 1,398]

So I have been one of the unlucky ones who has had significant Hair loss. I probably have lost about 2/3 of my hair. Thank goodness it was thick to begin with.

I am almost a year and a half post op and nothing has helped... I have tried it all. Lots of Protein, Biotin, various shampoos, lab work has been fine, tried various oils, castor oil, emu oil, coconut oil, essential oils and nothing helped. It was a constant science experiment.

I then added liquid silica to my Water once a day( got it from Amazon) and that slowed the loss down but it was still falling out.

Then I ordered a marine collagen called Vitaglow and began taking that. All I can say is finally something worked!!! After four weeks my hair has quit shedding and is thickening up. A bonus is my nails are strong and growing like weeds. After I ran out of the Vitaglow brand (it was a little pricey) I switched to a brand called VEDApure and it seems to be working just as well. Also, my hair is a lot softer and doesn't look as fried/dry.

Hair success!!!

Just thought I would share if anyone needs help with their hair woes.

Yay! It's nice when it stops!

collagen is great. If you have any large pores they will close too. I love it.

Happy for you! And years down the road you will be grateful for the amazing weight loss and paying the price of a little hairloss wont sting so bad.

@CowgirlJane. You are so right I would exchange every hair on my head for this wonderful weight loss. I could always wear a wig, but this surgery has given me a new lease on life!!!

@@OutsideMatchInside I think it is helping my skin!! I am hopeful that one of my forehead wrinkles is slowing disappearing. Also, I am afraid to think its real- but my inner thigh skin seems to be tightening up??

Thanks for the tip. I may try the Vedapure. ????

Mine finally stopped shedding like crazy as well. Lots of little hairs popping out everywhere. I thought I would be bald as it started at 3 months and I am nearly 13 months post op. I too lost 3/4 of my volume thank goodness I had a huge head of thick hair to begin with.

I take http://www.amazon.com/Neocell-Super-Powder-Collagen-Packaging/dp/B0011DJ71I/

It definitely helps with skin. It is subtle at first but one day you will be shocked at the improvement

[glitter eyes 1,398]

@@OutsideMatchInside I will have to try that brand when I am done with my current one. I am now a true believer in this collagen stuff!!

I also will get vidaglow collagen in the blueberry flavor...

[glitter eyes 1,398]

Pinkgirl1234 Let me know how the blueberry flavor tastes. I haven't tried that one yet, just the regular vida glow.

I just bought some and I am PRAYING it works. The front of my hair (bangs) and hair around it is really falling out and if I stand under a light or the bright sun you can totally see my scalp. It's a small price to pay for the weight loss, but if I could NOT lose hair that would be awesome too!

I used the link someone posted and got the 14oz Neocell jar.

[Margie122 845]

I'm drinking the neocell collagen with Water for the first time. It's pretty much tasteless, but the smell is a little weird. It took a while for it to dissolve, but the Water I had was VERY cold. If the water is room temp, does it dissolve quicker? Also wondering how long before I might see (or not see hair in my drain) results?

[glitter eyes 1,398]

Margie122 I take a marine collagen and it probably took about 4-6 weeks before I could tell for sure that it was working. However, before that my hair began to slowly get softer and less dry/brittle. The Hair loss had slowed way down. I still lose some, but nothing dramatic like I used to. I also have little to no breakage now.
