I am three weeks away from my surgery and it has been a month now that my doctor asked me to start on those vitamins. I have not seem a diference yet and was wondering who else takes them and is it a forever thing?

I started taking the vitamins about 2 months prior to the surgery so that it could build up in my system. The reason I did this is because my close friend had the surgery July 2012, and her hair came out very bad and now she is still loosing hair now and she is 8 months post.She does not take any vitamins at all. I know because of the surgery hair loss could possible happen and I did not want to take any chances. I had surgery on December 28th, and I faithfully take my pills and actually my hair is growing no loss what so ever. I'm taking 10000 mcg of Biotin for the hair, skin, nails, and then my regular mutivitamin, B12, niacin. Hope this helps. Remember everyone situation is different

I take iron, biotin, and zinc and I'm still losing my hair. The only thing I can figure is that maybe if I wasn't taking them, it'd be worse?
