Hi All - Does anyone have any recommendations for shampoo/hair care products for thinning hair? I've had this issue prior to surgery due to my PCOS but I'm thinking I don't want it to get worse. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!!

That's a pill - the 5000 units? Thanks so much!

I'm a hair dresser and for thinning hair I ALWAYS tell my clients to take Biotin and use Nioxin products. They aren't cheap but they work. Down sides to it are it takes about a full bottle of Shampoo and conditioner to notice and you can't stop using it otherwise you'll go back to the way your hair was.

Biotin, zinc, and Choline isolate all help. And yes... I use Nioxin products.

I'm also worried about Hair loss bc my hair is already really fine. Do you have to order this Shampoo online or is there any store that carries it??

Do you have a hairdresser you go to exclusively? If not Walmart salons have the Nioxin products. Your hairdresser might be able to give you a better price.

I can usually find Nioxin products at Ross, Marshalls or TJ Maxx as well. I open the Biotin capsules and mix them in the blender with my morning Protein Shake, just a thought. Although I have noticed hair renewal, I have noticed that I am not losing clumps of hair like I was before. My dermatologist recommended using the Rogaine for women to see if it might help with some regrowth. I have cysts on my ovaries that cause hormone fluctuations which had already caused thinning hair on the very top front of my head. After surgery I was losing hair by the handfuls at each shower. I panicked and went right to the dermatologist. He recommended the Nioxin products as well.

Thank you so much for the feedback! This really helps and I have just placed an order for the Biotin pills and a Nioxin Starter Kit from Amazon. :)

I'm also a stylist. I've suggested and now use Nioxin professional hair products for over 17 years. I also take Biotin in chewable form (found at Walmart) twice a day. Both have helped, but after a bit over 3 years being banded, my hair has gone from thin to thick and back many times. Finally, I realized my Protein intake makes a Huge difference! I try to stick with 60 to 90 grams of protein a day. If I slack, the hair begins to break and come out in clumps in the shower. Hope that helps! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
