I have a ton of hair and I've always lost a ton of hair. It comes out in the shower, probably about 50 strands a day, and then of course every time I brush it, etc. I haven't noticed a difference w/ the surgery

The hair loss is from nutritional deficiency, right? Or am I just crazy?

So far everyone agrees on 3 things. Protien, Biotin, Nioxin. Biotin is a vitamin supplement and from what I've read in posts you're suppost to take at least 1000 mcg per day. Nioxin is a shampoo/conditioner/follicle treatment that helps clean away a hormone that causes hair loss. I've been pretty diligent with all 3. I REALLY don't want to lose my hair. I mean I know its just hair but I have hair down to my mid back.. it would really bum me out to lose it and it would take years to grow it back.

I noticed a small difference after washing my hair. Enough to get my attention and increase my protein amount.

I was so glad to see this thread! I have been losing hair like crazy and have been pretty worried about it. I lose enough to block the drain several times over each time I wash my hair. It continues to come out through out the day. I have heard weight loss and a lack of enough protein contributes to the loss, but I am grateful to read that others have had theirs grow back.:) | |

A lot of people lose hair from the anesthesia -- I'm not banded yet, but I just started taking silicea (homeopathic version of silica) to help firm up my nails... it helps anything protein based grow stronger and quicker (hair and nails.) It takes about 3 weeks to start working, so don't get discouraged if you start taking it and it doesn't work right away.

I picked "none of the above" because I had maybe a 10% loss a couple of months post-surgery, not enough for anyone else to notice. And it grew back completely. I had the same experience after giving birth and after my endoscopy.

Dear Christy,
When using the silicea, do you have to quit coffee,mint,etc? A friend fo mine who is a homeopathic die-hard says homeopatic remedies won't work if drinking things with caffeine or mint. Thank you for the info!

I have not had my surgery yet, however, I have fine hair and a few months ago, my hair dresser gave me Nioxin to try. I noticed that my hair is stronger at the shaft. When I told her that I was having the surgery, she advised me to continue the products. It may help! | |
