Hey WLS Fam... I'm 6 days pre op and I'm hearing a lot about how your hair thins out. Please tell me about your experience right after surgery? How did you handle it?

I'm still pre-op too, but I've been using the Garnier Fall Fight shampoo and can tell its helping with hair loss. I got the tip from a friend who is a few months post-op and has significantly slowed the hair loss with the shampoo.

I'm 5-1/2 months post op and have had very little hair loss. I take biotin every day and use anti breakage shampoo.

I take biotin too. How many mg or IU's do you take and when after surgery did you start taking them.

I'm almost four months out and have taken Biotin everyday. I also use Wen. I was taking 5000 mcg but I stepped up to 10000 mcg. Good luck

Oh and the MOST important thing is keeping your Protein up. When I have days I want to give up or say screw it, my hair keeps me motivated to get it in.

Using goid products helps. Dont go cheap with your hair care. Get hair cut often and use treatments and your hair will look great even if a few,strands go. I lost some hair. It came back. No worries. I have never taken.special vitamins for hair. My nut says that is a farse. We will all lose a little but it comes back.

I started pre op. I take 5000mcg a day in addition to whatever is in my multi
