Hair loss 1 year out



Recommended Posts

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.

I have a friend who is a hairdresser and she has seen her clients do very well with both Rogain and the Nioxin products.

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.

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
