I would like to follow this thread as well :-)

I am noticing a lot of hair coming out the past couple of weeks.

My Dr. said to double my Vitamins and that would help some. Also continue to keep Protein between 60-80 grams a day. Probably old news for you but just thought I would share JIC....

I was told by a friend that was also sleeved to use RedKen Extreme Shampoo (blue bottle) for a Protein boost. But, I spoke with my hairdresser who is also a dear friend and he said that it doesn't matter because he said the hair loss comes from the lack of Protein from the inside. He used to work for RedKen so he's very knowledgeable about this stuff. He talked to me about using Protein powder on top of eating protein (I'm 17 weeks out).

I started taking Biotin 10 mg a day. I also only use Shampoo about once a month, I use a cleansing conditioner every day, something along the line of wen. I'm only 7 weeks post op, I'm not sure if you are further along than I am. But so far so good.

I just had my NUT appointment, she stressed going for 80+grams of Protein a day, and making sure to get all your Vitamins, and Water in.

I myself am a cosmetologist The Hair loss does come from a lack of Protein on the inside. But I use nioxin 3 step kit to help. It creates a healthy environment for optimal Hair growth. It will not stop it but can help prevent "fall".

Yeah, my doctor told me the same thing.

I'm not actually experiencing Hair loss. I just thought it couldn't hurt to use a better Shampoo & conditioner to help prevent it.

I am trying this stuff with collegian & Biotin in it. I've heard Nioxion is the best though. It's just kinda pricey.

Yes it is. But remember when using professional products a little goes a long way. No reason a kit shouldn't last you 2 months unless you have massive amounts of hair.

Good point! I really had no idea it could last that long. I think I may order some. I just feel like it'd be a smart preventative thing to do.

The day before surgery I bought some Biotin Shampoo and conditioner from GNC. I'm only 3 days out, but I'll have it if I need it.

So I'm seeing that the Hair loss is from lack of Protein? Then where does the Biotin Vitamin come in? I average about,60g Protein per day and just started seeing some loss so started biotin.... Should I just be upping the protein instead?

      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!!
