It will have been 6 months since my surgery on February 6,2013 and my hair is falling out like CRAZY. I know some loss is to be expected, but this is drastic. I take vitamin B1 thiamin. Is there anything else I can do??????

I heard biotin and look into nioxin shampoo treatment for hair loss

To avoid hair loss you need to get a minimum of 65 grams of protein daily and take biotin. I also take a high dosage of b-12 but the most important is gettting in the protein !!!! My surgeon was very firm about that, I am 10 months post op and not losing any hair.

My doctor also said that to prevent hair loss I need to get all my protein in. I am only 2 weeks out but I am so nervous about loosing my hair too.

I am getting a minimum of 65g of protein a day and my hair is still falling out in clumps. I've always had thick hair and now it's noticeably thin. I'm going to try biotin. I'm desperate. My surgeon said that its not a vitamin deficiency that going through the surgery causes your hair to go on the same dying cycle when I usually is random.

take biotin now, most of us take 5000 mgs a day, can get it at walmart. its says in all the books that there will be some hair loss around month 3 to month 6, also use that fall out shampoo and condintioner. its in a green bottle cant remember the name.

Going to get some tomorrow after work!!!!! Thanks

Got biotin!!!! Praying I see a change

Thats great you get 5000 mg? Now you know it takes several week before you see new spouts?

All regarding the Nioxin shampoo/conditioner, I have Alopecia (a hair loss disease) and have been told over and over to try the Nioxin however it makes your hair fall out before you get better...just saying from experience you may want to try getting your protein and biotin in...

I got the 6000msg pills

Try a shampoo called ( WAY TO GROW) you can find it at wal-mart or ulta beauty supply stores also try main &tail shampoo.

I've always had lots of hair..., until NOW! Had surgery 4/2/13 and have had NO trouble until last month, handfuls of hair coming out. Take protein, b-12 nasal, biotin, GNC wellness pill for women and my vitamins. How long before anyone noticed a regrowth period. Wondering if I should cut my hair short short or hope for the best. No noticeable change to anyone but me, with brushing hair or shampooing. My hair is chin length. Hmmm please give me hope!

Surgery 4/30 here. Lush hair gone and thinning straw hair. I loved my hair but don't know if I should cut mine off too. Taking all my meds as I should and biotin too. Idk..I guess I can always be grateful as there are wigs and extensions. I would shave it bald tho if it means getting this weight off

My hair is thinning so much I could cry...has anyone heard of taking prenatal vitamins to prevent it or help it from falling...pregnant women always have beautiful thick hair ...wondering if it has yo do with the vitamins???

No it's not the prenatals. I'm pregnant and it's just the hormones from the baby. My hair has grown so much. My nails too.
