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.

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.

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!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
