Hair Loss

Hello everyone! I had my initial consult with the doc so now trying to get through all the pre-approval stuff I durance requires (I only need medical history from the last year and a psych eval) it took me 3 weeks to see a therapist *rolls eyes*. Anyway, with any major surgery I know you lose hair, but I was wondering if anyone our age experienced this? I have talked to my hair dresser and she suggested prenatals to start NOW as well as through the surgery. Anyone know if this is ok? I know you're restricted as far as stuff that goes down after surgery but I found gummy prenatals lol so I assumed this would work?

My friend had the surgery last July and her hair loss is very evident. So before I had my surgery I started taking Biotin Pills, actually I started taking all my vitamins pre-surgery so they can start getting in my system. I did try prenatal pills me bloated all the time so I stopped. But my hair is constantly growing. I would suggest you look into taking the Biotin pills they are a big help

I took biotin to help me before I got married because there was a specific hair style I wanted and it took me a year and a half to grow it out :-( I have thyroid issues so I have endocrin things working against me which is why I think it took forever. What brand of biotin did you take? I'm not opposed to it again, I just will need to start now if I have to take then again to notice or see a difference. I'm hoping for a summer surgery. Did you have to crush or cut them after surgery?
