losing hair!!!

I sarted losing hair 9 weeks post op.  My doctor told me to up the protein and take a new bariatric vitamin called bariatric fusion.  It seems to be helping.  Any other suggestions? Suzie

a lot of people use/recommend Nexium. its a hair product with a shapoo/cleanser and conditioner. its supposed to help a lot. i coughed up the $70 for the small set and hated the scent (smells like mint toothpaste) but ive heard other people have had great success with it.

are u sure it's not called nioxin?

hah yea.. thats the one. oops =)

Some people take biotin for hair loss, it also promotes hair growth every where so don't be surprized if you look down and have a Chi chi chi chia!  pet down there!

I just started Biotin yesterday, and I hope I don't get more facial hair!  As far as the south end of my body, that can be shaved!.....LOL Now I wonder if I should take this product? Annabelle

Hi Suzie:

Not what you want to hear, but you just have to ride it out. Do what your doc says, and trust me your hair will come back!

If you think about it...our bodies do not need the hair, so when we alter our bodies or cause damage as it is thinking or it going into survival mode...our bodies will not send nutrients to useless places such as hair.  I know that sounds weird in a way, but makes a lot of sense too.

So just ride it out and before you know it you will see all kinds of little new hairs sprouting up on your head!

Good luck and I wish you continued success with your new lifestyle!

where do u get bariatric fusion?

hi.  i found it online.  bariatricfusion.com

I, too, lost hair. Janine is right, for the most part you just gotta ride it out. I did take Omega 3 Fish Oil viatmins, and used Nioxin shampoo and conditioner. I honestly did notice a difference as my hair was not only thinning, but getting kinda kinky, frizzy looking...maybe it helped, maybe not, I don't know. But I will tell you that it doesn't last long, maybe a couple months, and then it grows back. I had one thick head of hair before wls.........and still have it now!!!
