Hair Loss Question

Well, I thought it wasn't going to happen, but looks like it's starting to. I was washing my hair last night and kept getting these small clusters of hair coming out. Not enough to cause serious panic, but enough to know that I usually don't shed hair like that. I would say probably 50 strands came out about 7 times while washing hair. I was covered in it! I felt like Chewbacca. Anyway....... My nutritionist said to call her if this happens, so I will. In the meantime, what do you ladies use to help with the hair loss? I want to keep this from getting to extreme. Certain shampoo? Vitamins? Anything? Help!

Marcie, I haven't had that problem. But I do know if you ask Kim about she's done a lot of research on it! Can't wait to see you again! Love ya, Karee

Marcie, Please let us know what she says when you call her. I have been losing my hair since about the fifth month out and it is better now but still wayyyy more than normal shedding. My hairdresser told me NOT to get Nioxin shampoo, she said your hair gets used to it and once you stop using it it will start to fall out again, plus it isn't cheap. Anyway, please share her insight/research on WLS hairloss with us when you can. Thanks

Marcie, My doctors office told me to take Biotin. I just had surgery 2 weeks ago so I cant say if it works for me or not but I have been taking it everyday for a week now. Please let us know what your nutritionist has to say because I'm so scared to lose my hair its already thin to begin with. Stephanie

I am almost 5 months out and the last few weeks I have been loosing small amounts when washing my hair . My doctor also told me to take Biotin which I have, so maybe that's why it is small amts. I heard no-matter what there will be some hair loss which does grow back so I am told Nancy

Marcie, as other asked: Please, let us know what your nut. says about the hair loss. I was told it will happen no matter what... My hari started fallin when I was 5 months post op and I am now 6 moths post op and it slowed dow A LOT to the point I am not as worried anymore, but before I was almost in tears daily... Hair was everywhere and I even walkeda round with a little lint rooler in mu purse. Anyway, the good news is: It does slow down and it stops at one point, but when, it depends on the person! Good luck! Vivi.
