Thank you sweet Jesus, my hair is finally starting to grow back! I still have some falling out but not nearly as much as before. I was sleeved on April 16th, 2012 and there for awhile I was sure I was going to go bald. I am not sure if the growth is from my daily ritual or just due to time, but either way YIPPEE!

What is ur secret!?! I'm pre op and want to avoid hair loss as much as possible!!

I take 5000mcg of Biotin, the soft gels. 30mg of Zinc, and use Nioxen shampoo and conditioner. The zinc has really slowed down the hair loss. I was getting scared there for awhile, but all is good now.

Thanks! I'm taking 2000 of Biotin. Was told by my NUT that any excess is excreted into our urine by our kidneys. I should start taking zinc though

How long post op did your hair start to fall out? This is the first I've heard that I should be taking biotin or zinc so I better start doing my research. I'm only taking one daily multi-vitamin at this point
