Hi guys, its been awhile since I posted. I am 85 pounds down - surgery date was June 30, 2011.

I didn't have hair loss issues and I attribute it to these things:

I took 10,000 mcg of Biotin every day.

I used Nioxin Shampoo and Conditioner.

I also used this product called Kitoko Oil - Protein.

If you have any questions let me know...........

Thank you soo much & CONGRATS on your 85 lbs down!! My surgery is not until February & I am currently using 2500 mcg of Biotin but I will up it soon. That Kitoko sounds great & I'll order some next month.

I had surgery June 23, 2011. I've experienced some hair loss in the last month or two. It's not noticeable to anyone else except me (at least I think...lol) but to me my hair is extremely thin compared to before surgery and my hair seems to be EVERYWHERE...except on my head. I have actually been looking for tips and suggestions. Thank you for jumping on here. I also found something today that had a lot of really good tips. If you or anyone else is interested, here it is.... http://healthystronghair.com/howtopreventhairlossandrestorehair.php

I havn't been quite so lucky, but I have only been noticing more hair on my jacket and brush in the past week. I have been taking biotin as well since 3 weeks out. I eat 80 grams of protien a day minium as well. My hair still looks thick.... as of now. 3-4 months out seems to be when is strikes- so you seem to be out of the woods!! Congrats and thanks for the tips I am going to try Nioxin.

Notsochubby, just curious, how many calories did you / do you eat per day? How much protein do you get per day?

Thanks for this great information! Congrats on your sleeve success!!
