Hair Loss
I am 3 and 1/2 months out and I too have started losing hair like crazy over the past couple of weeks. I just went and got a hair cut last week and the girl said your hair is so thick...I pray it gets me through this period without it being to noticeable. I feel like right now I am in a very heavy shedding period. I too hate it! But what can we do?

I am almost 11 years out and still struggle with hair loss. I am going through a time right now. I wish I had a solution for you and everyone else. I've had tons of bloodwork done, thyroid checked, etc. etc. no answer. Nutritionist says to up the protein, so I'm doing a shake now at breakfast. This is truly the worst part of WLS. Good luck.

Nioxin has a system for thin and shedding hair. It is the only thing that turned it around for me and it took months of use. I was still thinning out at over two years and my stylist showed up at my house with a gift bag of the Nioxin products. I used it faithfully until my hair stopped falling out and it is now thicker than before surgery. It is not cheap but is the only thing that worked for me.

I'm only five weeks out. Should I start using the Nioxin products now in the hopes that it helps with hair loss in the future?
I never said it would be easy. I said it would be worth it.

At 3 months post-op, hair started thinning which prompted me to purchase a faux pony-tail extension. It wasn't necessary but I liked having a fun, temporary way to look like I had more hair. My daughters thought it looked corny/dumb--another reason why I liked it so much : )
I purchased Nioxin the least expensive in giant bottles found at a JCPenney salon on sale stacked with a JCP coupon. Thinner hair lasted less than a year. At 2 1/2 years post-op, hair was back at normal thickness but noticably more dry.
