Went to Dermatologist for the hair loss and...

I use the head and shoulders and then I use the Nioxin for conditioner (mainly because I LOVE the strong mint flavor and tingliness).

Okay, I already had an appointment with my dermatologist so I asked him about the hair loss. He said it is due to dermatitis, which is caused by stress (surgery, weight loss, etc.). He gave me two sample bottles of (1) Regular Head and Shoulders and (2) Head and Soulders intensive treatment (in a dark blue bottle). He said wash my hair every day, alternating the two and I should see a difference within a week. The important thing he said was to wash it EVERY day (which I don't normally do). So that's what the doctor said if anyone is interested, since it's all over the counter stuff.

Kaycee, a few questions for you. Did he tell you what's in the Head and Shoulders that makes it work? Are you seeing him again? And if you do, would you mind asking him what he thinks of the Nioxin stuff? Thanks!

Kacee:

What kind of store sells Nioxin? Is it an over-the-counter product, or by prescription?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

I think we are talking about apples and oranges here. Head and shoulders is a medicated Shampoo that attacks the dermatitis on the SKIN. The END result is the loss of hair, but there is nothing wrong with the hair itself. Nioxin stimulates the scalp and probably has products in it to fluff up the hair shaft, but it does not claim to address dermatitis of the scalp. I can see the two working hand in hand.

Hi there. I see you were banded 5 days before I was. HOW ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU EATING? ARE YOU FEELING LIKE YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD? I am very curious what others are experiencing. Have you been weighing yourself? I would love to "link up" with someone that has a date close to mine. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and yours.

Kacee - how is the hair loss for you now?

I've been using the head and shoulders since this post - so I guess just over a month. I'm not losing hair like I was; that's for sure. I don't know if it was just time for me to quit losing my hair or if it actually worked :)

I have tons of new growth at the hair line but not on the top of my head - kindof weird huh?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
