Saeed 1 Posted October 1, 2016 Hi guys my wife had the op exactly a year ago and her hair has thinned massively. Anyone else experienced this? Also please let us know what to do to revert this. She's using 5,000 Biotin tablets. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pescador 1,374 Posted October 1, 2016 I lost hair from five months for 11/2 years. Biotin was a waste of money. Tell her to invest in a nice wig and endure it because I tried everything and nothing worked except a great wig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reree6898 1,164 Posted October 1, 2016 I have a friend who is a hairdresser and she has seen her clients do very well with both Rogain and the Nioxin products. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSouth 3 Posted October 2, 2016 My dermatologist just gave me Nutrafol. I may be crazy but in less than a week it seems like I am not shedding as much. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pescador 1,374 Posted October 2, 2016 I have been told that once you use Rogaine you cannot stop. That deterred me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travelher 915 Posted October 2, 2016 I used rogaine after my band surgery. Did it for about a year and stopped. I was fine. It probably depends on the why of the hair loss. For rogaine to work you need to keep using it. I just didn't need to after a while Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
o00 494 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) I am almost a year out. I had a lot of hair loss from 5th to 9th months. I have not used any hair products and this is what my hair looks like now. The texture is more dry and brittle. I still refuse to cut it short.

shotgun72000 30 Posted October 3, 2016 My surgeon told me that if I get all my Protein in daily and my Vitamins I shouldn't lose my hair, but if I started to notice Hair loss to take Biotin, Zinc and Omega 3 everyday.
