Just wondering if anyone has any ideas to help lessen the hair loss. Are there any supplements in liquid or powder that can be taken?

I take a chewable Biotin 10,000 mcg

I take Biotin every day plus make sure I have the required amount of protein.

Two things that helped me was I took powdered Marine Collagen in my water everyday and that slowed my hair loss by at least half. I also drink Bamboo tea (very high in silica) and that has helped the texture and dryness of my hair. I lose just a normal amount now and my hair is softer.

I tried the biotin but that didn't work for me.

My hair loss stated at around month six and continued until I was about 16-18 months post op. My vitamin levels have always been normal and I eat plenty of protein and healthy foods.

I wish I knew. I take Biotin every day, and I've lost at least 2/3 of my hair volume, and I can't leave the house without a wig on now. I have 6 wigs at this point, so I do enjoy changing up my hairstyles and colors all the time.

I'm getting new hair growth, and at 10 months the hair loss is slowing down, but it has left not just extremely thin hair, but bald spots and my hair is completely coarse even the new hair growth is. The promising thing is that there is new hair growth, and I know it will take time to completely grow out, but hopefully at some point I have fairly good hair again. To be fair, I already had thin hair, due to poly cystic ovarian disorder. But this is just beyond my comfort zone of being seen in public like that.

I wish I had better news to report on this topic, but it is what it is. There are always consequences it seems to everything in life. It's also destroyed my once beautiful nails. They were so long, healthy, and strong, and now, they are so weak and just bend and have all broken off. I was warned about these things though, before surgery.

It will be interesting to see what others are doing, and if anyone else has lost enough hair to warrant wearing a wig, now.

I still wouldn't change a thing. Wigs and artificial nails are there for a reason.

It's happening to me and I am very depressed about it.

I lose my hair when I get my steroid shots too. I'm going to have a double whammy. :-/
