Well, I am 4 months out and the hair loss started about 3-4 weeks ago. Not balding by any means, but significant thinning. Have a small handful every day. I think I am vacuming up as much hair from me as from the cat if that tells you anything.

I went to get my roots done and a trim yesterday, thinking that at least what I had left needed to be shaped up. I was talking with the beautician and she gave (sold) me a new set of products by Redkin. Now, I am always a bit of a sucker for a good product line and have more half used, had to try it beauty products in my bathroom closet than anyone I know. But, I decided that it was worth a shot. She did say redkin was giving it a 30 day money back guarantee, no questions asked. I could just log onto the website and they would cut me a check if I did not see improvement. So, anyway, I bout the 3 product kit. It was only like $35. I figured when she started on the guarantee, etc that it was going to be way more. The lady that owns this salon has lapband about 2 years ago and is one of the lucky success patients with it. She has lost like 150 pounds and has done great. I and my hairdresser talked with her about the surgery, etc and if it would help WLS alopecia (fancy name for hair loss), etc. She seemed to think it would.

I will let you know how it goes. If anyone else wants to give it a try instead of waiting for my 1 month report, it is called Redkin Intercept. I got the 3 piece kit, which is a shampoo, a toner (conditioner they just call it a toner) and a leave in treatment. It does make my scalp feel all tingly. It is supposed to help with scalp circulation as one of the things it does.

Just thought some of you might want to know.

Thanks for sharing. I have grown my hair out and hoping not to lose too much. I heard Omega fish oil was good to take. I know it works great for shedding dogs..why not people. lol

You got a good deal, I happened to see this at Beauty Brands today for $45!

Let us know if helps or not!

I hope I don't step on any toes:

Well, I wish you well and I hate to be a harbinger of doom but I'm afraid there is little a topical solution can do to prevent or reverse this, only time will slow and reverse the process called telogen : https://secure.wikim...ollicle_cycling . It is natural and is happening in a more massive scale than it usually does due to the trauma of anesthetic, surgery and the abrupt diet change.

We literally waste millions (billions?) on hair care products in the first world. Most of them do nothing except make a very expensive sewage runoff.

Again sorry if I step on any toes but the factor here is TIME and plenty of Protein to get your body out of the shock it's received and start allowing things - like hair growth - to resume again.
