I'm 10 months post op and I'm losing hair. I get plenty of protein and take Biotin. I just noticed this 2 days ago as I was washing it and it was in the drain of the shower and then putting hair products in it. About 3 months into my journey I had a problem with my hair being very brittle and dry and breaking off, almost damaged, got that controlled and is now healthy again but is falling out now, OMG, what else is there to do besides protein and Biotin?

Are you taking any medications?

I'm not sure. I hope you get a answer that helps you.

Some people swear by a shampoo that you can get that contains nioxin but I've never tried it.

I am 4 months out and take Biotin since surgery. My doctor told me that 1/3 of women that get WLS will lose hair due to rapid weight loss. Last week I cut my long hair due to breakage and it falling out. It will grow back though!

I am on meds but not any new meds, have been on the same meds for a while. I know it will grow back, I'm not losing clumps, its just thinning and its noticeable (did I spell that right, lol) anyway, just when i got it healthy again, dang. Thanks everyone for your input. Haven't asked my stylist yet, that's my next step.

Talk to your dr. Mine gave me a vitamin regimen that I took for three months. A different combination every two hours. My hair stopped falling out and I have new growth. You can only stay ogn it for three months. Now I just take my calcium, multiple and I still take biotin. The shampoos did not do anything for me.
