I put a lil moose in it before drying my hair. It will stop when your body adjusts.

I've had thin hair forever -- long before I even thought about this surgery. I use Nioxin Shampoo and conditioner and it's helped my regrowth. I'm scheduled for surgery on 11/10 and I'm already dreading the expected hair loss--it has to be rough when you don't have a lot to start with!

I already had thin hair prior to surgery so this really sucks. I do have the Topik. I need to go get a lighter color now that I have less hair for it to blend with. Has anyone tried the clip in hair extensions?

I'm having a tough tine getting in enough orotien. I've list about 1/2 my hair. Also if you don't have enough fat in your dietm you can't process the amino acids ib the protien. I'm rarely hungry which makes it difficukt and my stonach is really picky,

I use hair extensions every time I go out. They work fine and look good . There's pictures of me with and with out extensions. Hopes this helps

My hair was more than 14 inches long when I cut it last week. My hair had been coming out at an alarming rate but luckily I had it to spare. Oddly it's stopped falling out since it was cut from my waist to my chin (graduated bob). I'm not sure why this has happened. I'm saying absolutely nothing helpful here...lol.

I haven't had surgery yet but getting close, but a lady I was talking too said she just cut hers short and she never noticed any Hair loss, I am wondering if the weight of the long hair also helps make it fall out. My son in law had the surgery and he too never lost any hair. I have my wig on stand by. LOL should I need it. Good luck to all.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
