Hair loss 1 year out

Hi guys my wife had the op exactly a year ago and her hair has thinned massively. Anyone else experienced this? Also please let us know what to do to revert this. She's using 5,000 biotin tablets. Thanks

I lost hair from five months for 11/2 years. Biotin was a waste of money. Tell her to invest in a nice wig and endure it because I tried everything and nothing worked except a great wig.

My dermatologist just gave me Nutrafol. I may be crazy but in less than a week it seems like I am not shedding as much.

I have been told that once you use Rogaine you cannot stop. That deterred me.

I used rogaine after my band surgery. Did it for about a year and stopped. I was fine. It probably depends on the why of the hair loss. For rogaine to work you need to keep using it. I just didn't need to after a while

I am almost a year out. I had a lot of hair loss from 5th to 9th months. I have not used any hair products and this is what my hair looks like now. The texture is more dry and brittle. I still refuse to cut it short.

Heck you would be beautiful bald! But seriously you have great hair, not like I did!

My surgeon told me that if I get all my Protein in daily and my Vitamins I shouldn't lose my hair, but if I started to notice hair loss to take Biotin, Zinc and Omega 3 everyday.

Agree Babbs!

@@Babbs So you've tried taking Biotin, Zinc and Omega 3 and it didn't work??? I will have to let my surgeon know that he's full of shit bc this woman on BP is a hair loss expert.
