I just started using frutis fall fight Shampoo and conditioner. So far less strands in my comb. I sure hope this works. It has Biotin in it and the bariatric Vitamins have 150 per cent of biotin everyday. The vitamins were not working but this shampoo seems to be. Will let everyone know after a few weeks.

I just have a few suggestions,

1. Are you getting enough Protein in each day? It is important to get 60 grams of Protein in and I do see that some folks who have been losing hair are told to up their protein intake to 70 grams a day. Also make sure you are hydrated too, 64 oz of Water each day.

2. Are you takeing all of your multi Vitamins each day, I do along with Vitamin D3, Iron and buffered Vitamin C. Maybe your doctor can recommend a really good Bioten product for you that helps grow hair and is good for your skin and nails as well. I am 6 weeks post op and have had some issues myself.

I'm 2 1/2 months out and I keep losing alot of hair on a daily basis. Its in the shower, in my car, on my brush. Doc just says to take Biotin. I was taking that before I had surgery. I was losing because of a certain medication I was taking. It didn't help.

Me too my friends. I started taking mega Biotin 3 months pre opp so not happy bout this either. I get 80 to 90 oz of Protein. I don't wash my hair everyday so on second day I've got comb fulls in the shower . Makin me nervous.

I have really really thick hair and lose big balls of hair pre op and still have lots of hair so I'm hoping it won't make a big difference..I need my hair thinned out anyways..best of luck!

I know it's unnerving, but it will stop. I promise. Hang in there!! Mine was falling out for a couple of months despite the fact that I got all my Protein, plenty of Water, took all my Vitamins etc. It did freak me out, but it didn't last that long. The hair grows back.

I am three months out and hair is falling out like crazy! Scares me, but I do have think hair to start. Any idea when it stops?

Me too, but I was expecting it. I have never seen anyone complain about going bald so hopefully this stage passes quickly. I had my hair done on Sat and my stylist had so much hair in her brush, on her self and on the floor.. She actually tried hiding it so I wouldn't panic. I just told her to collect it and weigh it so I can claim it as weight loss

Try Biotin. The RYN ladies in my support group swore by it. My Hair loss was mostly just thinning but the Biotin did stop it after about 2 weeks. I got mine from CVS and they are nice, small easy to swallow tabs. Good luck!

Nioxin is a wonderful product!! It's a 3 step process and it really helps regrow hair and slow down Hair loss. My husband uses it. He had a spot on his head where he had gotten bit by something and the hair stopped growing. Within 2 weeks of starting Nioxin the hair had completely grown back!!
