Hair Update

My hair is short and thin anyway. ( guess I got that from my mom too) When I was young my hair was really thick. I haven't really seen alot in my sink but I have been taking Biotin daily. Guess I'll try some zinc also and see what happens. Has anyone tried any vitamins for hair ( like from gnc) ? I was thinking about looking into that. Sandy

I'm still losing hair, but it has gotten a lot better. I'd say I'm now losing about a 1/3 of what I had been. I'm hoping that means that I've turned the balding corner! Amy

Me again. I"ve been taking Biotin since a month before my surgery and I get between 85 and 90 grams of protein a day. Doesn't seem to matter. I got some zinc yesterday, so I'm going to give that a try... Pam 5'2" 282/**195**/145

Barb, I'm still losing hair, but it seems to have slowed down over the past few weeks. My hair is different than before surgery. I'm trying different shampoo's and conditioners, but nothing helps. It's still feels corse, and is flatter. Now, I get all my protien, water, take vit's, plus supplements( Zinc, Biotin, Folic Acid), and still have hair loss. So, go figure. At least I don't have any bald spots! Keep the Faith, Linda R

From what I can read nothing can really helps. I do notice new hair growth. little bristles on top of my head. Some wls patients are just lucky to not deal with it.

I lose SO much hair. Lots in the bathtub drain and lots in the sink drain when I dry my hair and more when I bru**** Can't wait until it starts growing in again. I guess taking Rogaine doesn't help any (have been on it for 14 years). Farrah

I have been losing alot of hair it comes out everywhere I hate the fact that it always seems to be on my back even though I try to get all the lose hair out when I am brushing and washing it. Every time I see my mom all the lose hair floating around me freaks her out and she get on the worry train. I dont have any bald spots yet but I cant be far from it I did not have really thick hair to start with so I hope it slows down soon and grows back!

My hair was falling out like crazy right before Chirstmas. Then it slowed down alot to almost normal in January. I take Biotin and use Nioxin Shampoo. Then to add insult to injury I had to have back surgery Jan 19 and guess what? Back to square one and here comes the hair falls!! Boo Hoo I will just keep hanging in there. Nancy
