did anyone NOT lose tons of hair?

[Erissel 12]

I started my weight loss in June and by October I started to see some pretty massive hair loss (had lost about 45 lbs). I had my actual surgery in December and nothing's changed since I began my anti-hair loss regime.

This is what I did:

- Take 10,000 mcg Biotin daily

- Make sure I get enough Protein every day

- Use Pura d'Or Shampoo (Gold Label, not Blue... you can find it on Amazon)

The Biotin helped, but the biggest difference came from the shampoo. Nothing short of miraculous. They say it takes three months to see effects but my hair stopped clogging the drain within a week. It's expensive but totally worth it.

I have lost some hair, but nothing noticeable. My Hair loss started a few years ago when I had a thyroidectomy for cancer though. I don't believe this surgery has made it worse, at least not yet. I am 5 months out.

Good question...I was wondering if I started taking "hair, nails & skin vitamins" BEFORE my surgery...would it help with the Hair loss? ??...even after the surgery!

Im getting ready to have my surgery next week. I would like to know if this would be beneficial. If so, what would be a good supplement?

Yes, you can start Biotin before sugery and keep taking them after sugery. I am 3 weeks out and I am taking Biotin since day 8.

Not so far but I'm at 3 months now. I expect it at any time.

I'm 10 weeks Post Op and I haven't lost any abnormal amount of hair. Taking multi Vitamins and trying to get my Protein. I use Pureology strengthen Shampoo and conditioner. Get rest and no stress.

I began losing more hair than typical when styling and washing it around the four month mark, and it continued to shed for a couple more months. It was only noticeable to me, though. The only reason my husband even knew is because the hair clogged the drain. I lost far more hair due to a horrific product by John Frieda that caused it to snap off and fall out in clumps.

I had a lengthy stall, and I think the silver lining of it is that it helped to alleviate the Hair loss. Since breaking the stall I've been able to lose weight and meet my goals, but haven't lost any more hair.

I did not take Biotin or any other supplements. I do take Vitamin D, which has helped immensely with my hair.

I started losing about month three and have just noticed it has seemed to slow down a bit. I hit 6 months yesterday. Still losing some but not clumps. I have been taking Biotin since day 1 and hopefully that will assist with the regrowth.
