Does anyone know what supplement you take to help thicken your hair to help with the hair loss? I haven't had surgery yet but my nurse practitioner recommended I start taking something now but I can't remember what it is!!

BellaLuce4 just shared a great article in another thread

It's Biotin. But it is not a sure remedy. If your body decides it needs to place hair growth on hold, my understanding is, it will. But Biotin is supposed to help. I have been advised to wait until 4 weeks to start because I should not take anything that is not absolutely necessary until my pouch is completely healed. Makes sense!

Hi you can take Biotin to slow down hair loss.

Biotin yep that's it I knew once I heard it I would know!! Thank you everyone

I started Biotin immediately (three days after surgery), and because of my inability to drink protein shakes I was instructed to increase the mcg's to 10,000 per day instead of the normally recommended 5,000. I have it in both the dissolving and pill form, and haven't had a problem taking either. I'm only seven weeks out so haven't begun to lose my hair yet. I take several vitamins a day in both pill form and gummy form and have had no problems ingesting any of them.
