Hair Loss?

Hello everyone How is everyone doing? I am doing good now other than my hair falling out. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this and how long will it last. I just started noticing it about 2 weeks ago. I went out and bought some Vitamins for hair, but I don't know whether or not that will work. p.s. I am down 49lbs in 3 months and I was wondering if that was a good weight loss. Thanks alot for your help!!! Mary

Hi Mary, I'm just two months out. I do hear that hair loss happens, but it will all grow back. I have yet to experience it. They say it's really important that you get all your protein in. I think 49 pounds is great for three months! Congrats on your loss. At our support group some women talked about asking their stylists for a special shampoo that added extra body, and got a cut that would be more flattering for fine hair. Keep up the great work!

Hi Mary, I am 4 months out and I am losing hair too. it's not really noticeable yet, but my brush is always full of hair and I find strands all over my house and clothing. I knew it would happen, but its not too bad. I would recommend Pantene full and thick shampoo and conditioner. It does give the appearance of fuller hair. Some say vitamins work too, but some say they don't. I would say try it for yourself and see Never fear though cause it will grow back. You are doing great with the weight loss 49 pounds is great!!! Keep up the good work! Hugs, Sara 356/286/175

Hello, I had my surgery on November 30th and my hair is falling out too. Make sure to get your protien in and brush your hair like as if you were a baby. Those two thing will help, however.....I lost some hair after I had my baby and my doctors (warned me first, thank god) told me it will go away as long as it is not a protien problem. I too have had to cut my hair short, because of all the hair around my house. My hair got into everything. Good Luck and great weight loss. Heather

Hi Mary! It sounds like we are on the same path! I lost 50 pounds in my first 3 months and was so excited (had surgery on June 2, 2004****ep up the good work! As far as the hair loss, I too experienced that and I felt my protein was where it should be. I discussed this with my hairdresser and she recommended Nioxin products and so did my nurse. You use the Nioxin Cleanser, Scalp Treatment and Therapy. I noticed the hairloss decreased after about 3-4 weeks of using the products several times per week. My hair is starting to grow back, but I lost quite a bit so I have lots to get back. What a relief it was to know it wasn't falling out like it was. I was so depressed about it! Also, if you color your hair, you'll want to keep up with the coloring as my gray roots make it look like my scalp so it appears thinner too. Nioxin isn't cheap though, so be prepared. Good luck with the weightloss and the hairloss; believe me, it's worth it! Lenore
