Nothing will help hair loss. You just have to give it time. Special shampoo, biotin, etc etc won't help. Save your money.

Google telogen effluvium.  

There are no products or magic portions that will stop or prevent shedding.  If you take biotin, there can be some ugly side effects such as hair growing where you DON'T want it.

The best advice is to get a different hairstyle if the shedding becomes noticeable.  My started around the fourth month and lasted until the ninth month.  Now my hair is back to normal.  You just have to bite the bullet and wait it out.  It doesn't happen to everyone, but it seems to happen to many people after WLS (or child birth)

Omg no kidding! Tom Selleck himself would have been envious of the 'stache I managed to grow while taking biotin. It was no bueno.

Hair loss comes after a traumatic event to your body. General anesthesia,drastic loss of calories,and hormone changes equals some hair loss. Save your money for clothes,scarfs, and really good haircuts.

It's only temporary. It's your body talking to ya.

Hair loss is inevitable.  Keep healthy fats in your diet.... it helped me a bit...

What everyone else said . . . stay away from the "quackfoolerie" of what is for sale.
