HAIR LOSS

[BGOV1225 49]

AT ABOUT 3 MONTHS I STARTED LOSING LOTS AND LOTS OF hair. WHAT WAS WORSE WAS THAT IT WAS IN THE FRONT WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE. I WAS SO FREAKED OUT ABOUT MY Hair loss I WENT TO MY DOCTOR TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO. FIRST THING HE ASKED IS IF I TAKE ALL MY VITAMINS....WELL THAT WAS A NEGATIVE. I WASN'T TAKING THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE THEY'D MAKE ME FEEL SICK. I STARTED TAKING THEM RELIGIOUSLY AND ADDED Biotin. MY HAIR HAS BEEN GROWING OUT NOW, AND I DON'T LOSE AS MUCH HAIR.

***SO THE KEY IS TO MAKE SURE YOU TAKE ALL YOUR Vitamins EVERY SINGLE DAY***

Or just shave the whole lot off. Was sick of having hair anyway and this was just an excuse to finally be rid of it.

I'm glad you started taking your Vitamins, but they weren't the cause of the Hair loss. The surgery causes it. Starts around 3 months postop and goes until 7-12 months postop.

It's just a coincidence in your timing. But, hey, if it got you taking vitamins!

yes I have surgery tomorrow and even once i started this journey my hair was thinning I added the extra Biotin and yes missed a few days of Vitamins as they say vitamins are important been taking vitamins and biotin.. after surgery they mention to not take vitamins for a week and then start again but are there any other recommendations to help the thinning hair or not lose that much hair during the 3 months post op ???

Oh wow. I am so sorry. I really hope I don't lose my hair. I'm two weeks post op. I have extremely long hair. I'm already focusing on getting in my Protein and Vitamins because I'm very attached to my hair. My doctor said try to get a minimum of 60 grams of protein to avoid Hair loss. Hair is made of protein so it makes sense.
