Hi Michelle,
I'm about 3 weeks out from my 2nd round of plastics and I'm losing my hair something fierce.  Any idea when it stops falling out?

Thanks!

Girl I have doubled up on my biotin and protein and just HOPING it doesn't do like last time.  I bought some Nioxin shampoo which I "heard" was supposed to help and I just washed my hair...here's hoping!

I also lost hair after my wls and plastics. I now wash and condition with Nioxin (you can find it at any grocery store)... from what I was told, it's supposed to help thicken and with regrowth! My hair loss slowed down after about a month and a half.

BTW Jennie, please keep me posted on when you are able to run again and how it goes.  I really want to train for a marathon starting in Jan and my surgery is Oct 28th so I will be anxiously watching your progress.

Any time you undergo anesthesia you increase the odds of hair loss. It is worsened by WLS because of decrease nutrient consumption.

Definitely look at one of the bariatric iron supps; they are generally made from a more bio-available type of iron.

Good luck!
