Hello,

 

I got my approval and will be having surgery in July. I wanted to know about the hair loss. Is there anything you can do to prevent it?

There isn't a thing you can do yo prevent it. Google telogen effluvium.

Take your vitamins, eat your protein, and hope. I never lost any hair, and didn't do anything special. I took no supplements, and washed my hair with a bar of soap.

Be careful of taking lots of biotin. It doesn't stop or slow hair loss, but it will start growing hair on your arms, legs, and face.

I never had any hair loss.  A lot of people seem to have *some*, but not enough that others notice.  You either will or you won't - there's not much you can do to prevent it.  Keeping up with your supplements and protein will probably keep it from getting worse than it would be otherwise, I suppose.  But other than that...
