Someone please tell me my hair will grow back to how it was pre-surgery and at what stage will it start to regrow?  Any suggestions on vitamins or any other things I should be doing to help hair growth?

You can put "hair loss" in the search function or Google "Telogen Effluvium"   It's a physiological process and yes, it will probably grow back if you eat well and take your vitamins as necessary

In my personal experience, my hair never grew back the same. I did loose a lot, but It's something I have grown to understand... my diet has changed, my metabolics have changed- therefore my hair has changed. I religiously take my multi vitamins, biotin and zinc, make sure my protein intake is where it needs to be and try not to bind my hair unnecessarily. I also rotate between Wen, Ovation, and Joico ( also don't wash my hair everyday. I refuse to cut my hair, and keep it as long as I possibly can =)

 

Hair loss is to be expected with WLS, but I thought to myself, I'd rather loose the weight, and do what I could to minimize hairloss

Not sure if you would be eligible for this but talk to your hair dresser and ask for hair extensions. These are not the cheap ones you get at Sally's but expensive but will last for at least a year. It's real hair. You wa**** you swim in it you treat it just like your own hair. It was the best investment decision I've ever made.
