Dear Friends,

I am 3 1/2 months post op , my weight loss is great, :clap2: but I'm beginning to notice a definite thinning trend in my hair line! AAAGGHHH!

I'm really careful about eating adequate protien each day, take a Vitamin B supplement, and a multi vitamin every day... I realize drastic weight loss can cause some hair loss, (I had some hair loss after my last weight loss adventure ten years ago, the hair never came back, although all the weight did:faint: ) but is there any way to keep from losing more???:grouphug:

I've read posts suggesting Nioxin, so I've ordered the shampoo and conditioner. BUT I'M CONFUSED... there are a lot of hair treatments out there to pick from! Some contain Minoxidil, which claims to actually grow hair.. others don't, like Nioxin. SO... I'd like to hear from anyone who has ACTUALLY USED any of these treatements... and what results have you noticed? Would you reccommend one over another?

HELP! I don't want to end up like one of these "hair challenged" smiley faces....BALD!:help:

we use Myocel which is fortified with both vitamins and protein to assist post op , your body has juct gone thru some stress and who knows what other rigors you have been thru. Nioxin works well for women but post op hair loss is due to another cause. Myocel ordered on line at Myocel .com
