Hair Loss Help?

I'm lucky to have super thick long hair but it started to come out in large amounts in the shower about 2 weeks ago! What are some tips for stopping this horrifying trend???

Ughh darling Im going thru the same crap! I also have extremely thick hair as well. But winters coming and straight hair season has arrived . i try to wash it as little as possible. Thats when I find I loose the most. They have dry Shampoo as well I use that alot. Best of luck to you I hope both our hair stays on our head where it belongs.

6 months out and I am about in tears. My hair is shoulder length and I'm thinking about getting a medium BOB just to even it up. I do take Biotin everyday and I can see the start of some new hair growing in. Be sure to take your Vitamins and a Calcium replacement. This seem to work for me. Good luck! :)

Fish oil. Take fish oil. The post op diet doesn't contain enough good fats and that causes hair loss. And itchy skin.

GNC carries a fish oil called Coromega. It is a gel pack and alot easier to take than those big pills.

Try a high quality Protein like Unjury, that should help.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
