Hair Loss - HELP!!

Has anyone had problems with hair loss? My hair is coming out pretty aggressively now. I have lost 56 pounds so far. I am down to 166 and I feel great except for this hair loss. I have heard about product called NIOXEN. Has anyone tried it? I am getting my potein in each day but I am now adding a shake everyday. HELP!!

my hair is coming out like crazy also. I am down about 70 pounds and am really concerned. Its so scary. I am making sure I get my multivitamin in and my protein I hear that by about 6 months it slows way down. I have tried nioxin but I do not think that is for regrowth. I used nioxin b4 I ever even heard of the surgery. My hairdresser said it strengthens your scalp and such. Maybe even thickens the feel. I just think we need to wait out the storm of the hair loss. Great job bythe way. You wont go bald. I am sure of it. hang in.

I too have been having alot of hair loss since about 3.5 months out. I am down 47 pounds and like you all I get the protein and vitamins in. I really don't think it is a deficiency because my nails are healthier and stronger than ever. I do think we just have to wait it out. I have used Nioxin products since just after surgery and I love it though it is expensive. It makes my hair feel much thicker and healthier. Nioxin helps new hair growth but will not stop hair from falling out but promotes new growth. I had my hair trimmed yesterday and my stylist did say that she could see new growth. Email anytime.

Hi patricia, I wanted to let you know that i too have been having a lot of hair loss. I went to the DR and they told me that you need more protien. I have been able to do that by eating turkey, chicken, and fish. However if you are not able to eat those things yet, you can try a produckt called KPAK, by Joico. It's kinda pricy, but it does work. My hair was falling out like mad and since I have been using that it has helped. You will probably have to go to a salon to get it. Just to let you know, I have worked in the beauty supply business and as for Nioxen, it probably would help, but that is a lot like Rogain, which is a drug for your hair and when you stop using it, it starts to fall out again. I have lost 73lbs and I'm about 4 months post-op. Just be patient, it will start to grow back, mine has. Good luck on your progess!!!
