Scared of hair loss
Biotin will help with the regrowth but by all accounts (and per my nut and surgeon) it won't keep you from losing hair. If you are going to have hair loss, it will happen and then it will grow back.
My hair loss started at three months out and now at five months, the loss has slowed down. I don't have bald spots or anything noticeable to anyone else.
Your post-op focus is on nutrition, supplements and following your doctor's plan. Focus on what you can control, not what you can't.
Best wishes.

You have to get the idea out of your head that you need to bing as you won't eat them after, YOU WILL! It is very important to get your protein in pre-post surgery. You need this to heal. There is no getting around the lose it is from anesthesia and stress to your body from surgery itself. Than rapid weight loss after surgery adds to the stress.
I took/take biotin along with my other B's. I had my band removed and 3 months later started the hair lose (with a weight gain). Than I had the sleeve 4.5 months later and 3 months after that more hair loss. I was seeing great regrowth at a year out and had plastic surgery there went the hair again. I went from having way thick hair to less than normal since 2012. But, I wouldn't trade my thinner hair for the thinner me.
Thank you for everyone's advice and words of wisdom. I am so very excited about this jounry, but scared out of my mind at the same time. I am worrying about the little things and not focusing on the big picture!
