Help Hair issues!!!!
Okay I am so scared of losing my hair when I have surgery, but what makes it worse is I had a bad hair cut! I was supposed to get a trim and he took 12 inches off! I cried because it took 10 years to grow my hair, anyway my hair is also shedding. I am increasing my protein and have been taking my vitamins but it still continues to shed. I did pick up some Biotin but I am not sure how much to take. Can someone please help me. I really think I will be having surgery soon just waiting for date, and I really want my hair to grow a little before it really starts falling out.
I take Super Biotin from Walmart. I taje 5000mcg (5mg) twice a day. Even with the Biotin, you will still experience some hair loss until 9-12 months post-op. Hope this helps.

Hi Miss O,
I had a ton of hair loss starting at around the 3rd month post surgery and it lasted a couple of months. I am lucky in that I have very thick hair and it wasn't noticeable to others, but I sure could notice it. Once I could eat 300-400 calorie meals again, my drastic hair loss stopped. I still lose slightly more than post surgery, but things definitely improved after my 5th or 6th month.
Good luck.
