I didn't really notice my Hair loss at first. I wore my hair in a ponytail all the time and thought that the band was just stretching out. Boy was I worng! I had my sister, who is a hairdresser, cut off the dead ends and cut/style it in such a way that it at least looked fuller. Just be gentle with your hair :) My surgon said that hair loss pretty much stops at the 6 month mark for most. I take so many Vitamins, supplaments and medication that I am wary to add another.

6 month mark from surgery or 6 months after the Hair loss started??? I can’t take even 1 more day of this or I’m going to look like the girl in the movie The Craft :(

How about Sally Beauty Supply or maybe also check and see if there's a website for Nioxin.?PS www.Nioxin.com, I went on Google and found them. And I think you can also access their products on Amazon. Hope this helps a little, not impossible I'll need them myself, I'm a redhead (born that way) and we start out with fewer hairs per square inch than blondes and maybe 50% less than brunettes. hair is like a boomerang, it will return to you when its ready to![emoji106][emoji14]

I started taking Biotin around 3 months prior to having surgery.. I’m looking into Nioxin but unsure of which system to use since I have color and chemically treated hair.. :-/

Best thing to do is go to the nioxin website and it helps you determine which one will work for you. I use system 1 but my mom uses system 3 it just depends on the individual person

If your hair dresser told you to do that one I’d probably go with that one. My mom ended up losing her hair and she’s a Bariatric patient as well and she gets head injections every two weeks and does nioxin and her hair is coming in nicely. My Hair loss just started so we’re just to get a jump start on it

Mine just started this week... so the stuff should be here tomorrow.. this is probably the worst part of the entire surgery aspect for me..

Bald headed women are reputed to be sexy, I think Grace Jones the model/actress said that but she shaves her head bald anyway , she may be biased?

I would look terrible with a bald head.. some women can pull it off, but I’m not one of them

We started noticing mine quite a bit when I’m in the shower but outside the shower I don’t notice that much.

      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.
