Hi.

Have anyone tried this treatment after surgery?

Thanks and merry xmas!

I did a comparison of a few hair Vitamins. Should have made a chart, but I actually just googled. Bottom line is pretty much all of them are a combination of Biotin and a multi-Vitamin. Biotin needs a mult to work effectively. These just put it in one pill. The only difference is that some also include collagen in the mix. Personally I think they are over priced. Biotin by itself is fairly inexpensive. Most of us are already on Multivitamins as bariatric patients. Save yourself some money and just buy plain biotin. The other thing is diet. Hair needs Protein. Bariatric patients sometime lose hair because we need higher protein levels. Make sure you are getting your protein requirements in as well as your Water.

I've been taking biotin for some time now. I am menopausal and that's another thing that can cause hair loss. I've seen some improvement pre-WLS. I was experiencing thinning at my temples and my roots were starting to feel thinner. After taking for biotin for over a year, my temples are no longer thinning and the hair there appears to have grown back. My roots feel a little stronger, but I also think that's do to being gentler on my hair. I'm 3mths post-op and so far haven't experienced any hair loss.

Thanks for sharing @@BLERDgirl

The thing is that I can't take a lot of pills because of my kidneys. My Vitamins are gummy because of this. Viviscal is only two daily, that's why I'm trying it. I know that I have to take it for a couple of months to see results so I hope not to get kidney stones ugh!

I'm interested in this particular one because it contains a Protein called AminoMar that has been proven it works. I bought it at $30.00 1 month supply on eBay.

I also started with the Revita Shampoo that has excellent reviews. I do prefer this one because it's not a pill LOL

The only thing is that I won't be able to really tell which one is working. I do know that both has to bee taken regularly and consistently.

Merry Xmas!
