Guest guest Posted May 9, 2000 Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 Hi! I have asked about this (hair loss) many times and get the following answers: Take protein supplements and zinc. Also, it is my experience as a veteran of several surgeries, that hair just falls out a couple of months after general anaesthesia. If that's it, it will grow back. Also, this is spring, going into summer, and I'm losing hair now I noticed just because of the season (I haven't had surgery yet), so you may be getting the after-affects of surgery with a normal seasonal loss.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2000 Report Share Posted May 14, 2000 << any of the post ops out there...please guide me to the hair loss prevention!!! Last week my hair started coming out by the handfull! >> I'm five months post-op. I am not having any trouble with hair loss. I take the usual three vitamins/minerals daily. My hairdresser found a natural scalp program for me to use: Power Plus by Farouk which contains a shampoo, conditioner and scalp lotion. I continue to have my hair colored with a Farouk product as well. We began this process as soon as I had a surgery date set. The Power Plus package is about $40 from the hairdresser...and I'm STILL using the original package from six months ago. It lathers very well, leaves my scalp feeling tingly and clean...and my hair is as soft as it has ever been. The conditioner is similar and when I put the lotion on before I style my hair, it just feels fresh and clean. In addition to these products from my hairdresser, I'm also taking a natural supplement which is (I believe) called Shen Fin. It's for hair, skin and nails. My hair is lustruous, strong and soft. My skin and nails look better than they have in years. No more peeling, splitting nails; no more eczema outbreaks. Farouk has a website: www.farouk.com. The Shen Fin supplements also have a website. I get mine from my natural food coop, but you could try GNC I suppose. Please don't suffer in silence. Try some or all of these products to see if they also help you. I don't own stock; I don't get any reimbursements!...I just have wonderful hair, skin and nails since making these additions to my daily routine. P.S. I'm down 77 pounds since mid December '99 and still doing very well in terms of energy level and participating in life. Those of you who are pre-op....keep fighting to have Dr. R do this MGB for you. You will not regret it! Dee in MI (MGB 16 Dec 99) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
