I need tips to prevent my hair from thinning

I am 4 months post-op and am experiencing some hair thinning. If anyone out there has any tips please let me know.

Hi Katie Keep your protein up - over 100 gms if possible. I was also helped by taking Biotin and I use prenatal vitamins as my multi. I buy generic Stuart Natals - they are cheap, and small. Good Luck Sharyn

I was just discussing hair loss with my niece, who just had RNY a little over two months ago, and I told her I was worried about hair loss. My hair is super fine and thin and don't really think thin and bald is a good look. She also said to make sure to get in plenty of protein. Thanks for posting the gms and the info about Biotin and the vitamins. Sheryle

Sharyn, where do you buy the Stuart Natals? Thanks, Cal

I get the generic Stuart Natals at Wal-Mart, $19.99 for 240. They also have them at CVS, Walgreens, etc. Sharyn

My advice is just to say a prayer. Nothing else seems to work! Darlene

Katie, I too experienced lots of hair loss in that 4th month out. It was coming out in handfulls and I was freaking out big time. But Dr Mikami encouraged me and told me it really was temporary. He had me taking 2 prenatal vitamins a day, added the biotin and recommended the Nioxin shampoo etc. I bought the generic Nioxin at Sally's beauty supply in a kit. It had shampoo, conditioner, and a leave in treatment. It worked wonders for me and now I have a full head of wavy hair. Before my hair started thinning i had thin straight hair and now its full and has lots of body. I think since I am eating healthier now, my hair is happier and curlier. LOL Hang in there and just keep telling yourself.. This will pass. This will pass. and it will Hugs, Miss Laura
