I use Nioxxin hair products to help with preventing Hair loss. It was designed to help cancer patients regrow their hair after chemo. Once I started using it, my hair stopped falling out and my hair grew back healthy. I continue using it now even though my hair is stable just to keep healthy what I have.

I am 7 months post-op. My hair was falling out really bad. I started taking the Biotin and it helped a little but not as much as I had hoped. Recently i notcied when i wash with cool Water it isnt as bad and since I started to drink alot of green tea it seems to be better.

I am happy to report, it does get better! I started losing hair at 3 months and it has started to slow down to the point I'm not concerned anymore. I can see little hairs about 1/2 - 1 inch long causing a halo all over my head. I'll likely end up cutting it but for now it's still mid back. I wear it loose in a claw (clasp thing) and do as little as possible to it.

This root concealer helped/helps give the illusion of having more hair. There are many other's like this out there.

I have been losing hair for moths already, I just had my surgery last week. It was the pre-op diet. Biotin does nothing according to my doctor, makes sense I had been taking it for years and my hair still fell out. One of the Kaiser doc's said it's Vitiman A that helps with Hair growth, and that is in our multi Vitamins. I don't think there is much that can be done unfortunately :( I found this great hair powder online at QVC the Joan Rivers Beauty line, Great Hair Day, it's only $33 including shipping and lasts forever. I have dark brown hair and use the Blonde color. It's a powder that you brush on your clean scalp, it stays until you wash it out. Makes the bald spots look like hair

What's your question? I'm not sure if I understood it.... do you mean you went for years without having a period, and then you had your period after surgery? This happen to me

@@gerbrared,

It’s normal, unfortunately! Luckily, it will come back, eventually. The things you can try to do to minimize it include getting enough Protein and taking Biotin if you’re not already. Biotin is a B Vitamin, and yes, you can take it after surgery, and no, it’s not easy to overdose on it! Unfortunately, you can’t always get hair loss to stop even if you’re doing everything right. Just know that it’s normal and it’ll stop eventually.

      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.
