My mother had it a lot worse when she had her bypass. have you been taking your proteins/ biotin(sp?)?

Yep. I keep protein at at least 80 grams per day and been taking biotin since about 2 weeks before surgery in addition to a multi and other B vitamins, fish oil, vitamin E, B5 and B12...

Is it mainly thinning in the front or all over? I figure I might get clip in hair but what can u do if you loose all the hair in the front of your head.....I'm so nervous about this....

This is a huge fear of mine as well I already have thin hair and now I see all the posts of people losing hair i'm freaking out lol

I use nioxin. It stops hair loss

I have thin hair too and its shorter (like above my shoulders) so I'm totally freaked out that I'm going to look horrible. And I didn't really plan on telling everyone I had surgery, so what excuse can I use to explain my hair (I might have to start a new thread on this topic to see what excuses other people have used)....

It's from all over but more noticable in front/ top/ crown. I'm using stress as an excuse because I have been working ALOT and work is very stressful. I havent used Nixion before but have used Folicure by the same company. It made my hair look so bad style wise I couldnt stand using it. I guess I'll have to try it.

Mine looks like that as well, I had long side bangs cut to cover the spot and it looks good now. I use big fat hair collegen spray while it's damp flip my hair upside down to blow dry when I flip it back it's about 2 feet high and I just smooth it into whatever style, and it looks great. My stylist asked me "you didn't think you were going to be a skinny "B" and have sexy hair did you?" lol

I already have thinning hair naturally so lets hope and pray that I dont lose it all. But I already wear extra hair and have for a lot of years now, so if anyone has any questions on that, hot me up or I have a blog on the Women's Hair Loss Project website.

I posted a pic that looked JUST like that! I think we were sleeved close to the same time, weren't we?? I think my hair loss is a result of the earlier days when I was NOT getting all the Protein I should. I've been getting LOTS of protein for a couple months now, and lo and behold....this morning, I saw new hairs at my front hairline, and I can not see my scalp as much as before. It used to look like it got stuck in the vacuum, now it's closing in!!

For a while there, every time I emptied my brush, it looked like I drowned a Yorkie in the toilet!! I think it's actually getting better!!

Yes, Dooter we did have surgery about the same time. Sometimes I think it's not that bad and sometimes I'm freaking out. I keep getting all my protein & tons of vitamins and hope its starts to grow back quickly.

I would like to know where to buy hair clip ins, which ones r best, how to put them in, etc.

You can buy them at Sally's Beauty supply, or any beauty store. They usually clip in with a barrette or a comb. They aren't to hard to put in, just take some getting used to it. They have them in every color imaginable. You can also get some at the home shopping network or QVC

I've been using what I call hair makeup. Derm match is the brand. It helps camoflage the scalp. It think helps alot.

Derm match is great! I also recommend Nanogen, Xfusion, or Toppik, something like that. I have naturally thinning hair and using them (mostly Nanogen) has made me feel like I can go out in public again without people noticing and staring at my scalp.

I am very scared of what's going to happen after surgery, assuming I get approved. I'm already researching bonded toppers and things like that.
