How Long Does Hair Loss Last!?



Recommended Posts

I was banded in March and I have been noticing my Hair loss for about the last 2 months. I am trying to get enough Protein but it is really difficult some days. I am hoping it stops soon. I have always had really thick hair and now it's so thin. I really need to get my hair colored but am too scared that even more will come out if I do. I will try the Biotin that everyone seems to be talking about. Hope it helps...

Mine started around 3 months post op and lasted until about 6 months post op. I was told by my nurse that Biotin can take up to a year before you really notice results. I have been on it for at least a year now. I just had a Tummy Tuck a month ago, so I dont know if has helped or not yet.

I was banded feb. Hair loss started in may. It was horrible I lost a lot of hair. It slowed when I added a pre-natal Vitamin. I get enough Protein. I take 5000mcg of Biotin. I found a Shampoo from TRESemme that's meant for hair loss. It works wonders. Noticed a difference in about a week (don't know why the bottle is in Spanish. Lol I bought it at Walmart)

Nioxin shampoo..conditioner and scalp treatment are amazing products for thinning or hair loss...I use them in my salon...any change in diet.. meds..surgery or tramua can't reflect on ur hair and nails they are both made of keratin..deep conditions and keratin treatments are both great ideas to combat Hair loss or breakage..Paul Mitchell has a wondeful line of Wild Ginger Keratin products

So specific one. I just looked for a smaller pill and one with Iron. I read low Iron can also cause Hair loss.< /p>

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
