Tell me about your hair experience!



Recommended Posts

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.< /div>

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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
