Thanks for the LOSING HAIR post!!!

I too am losing my hair by the handfulls...it's a horrible thing. I'm pretty darn sure I'm getting between 60-80 grams of protein a day, but I guess I'll have to start the biotin?!?!? Where is the BEST place to get this vitamin??? I need it BADLY!!!! Thanks again to all who posted responses!!! ~~~Shari

I get mine at Walmart. 60 pills for under $5 I do believe.

How often do you take the biotin?

I take one every day in the morning. I bought mine at Wal Mart and it was very cheap. Marianne

Shari: I started losing lots of hair at around 3 months post-op. I think it happens to alot of us. I take Extreme Biotin 1500 mcg. I take 1 a day. I got mine at Wal-Mart, too. It's not expensive at all. I also started taking fish oil every day because my hair was so dry. It really has helped, too. Good luck!! I know it's very traumatic, but it will get better!! Julie

1 a day and I got myine... guess where??? WALMART!!! actually get all of mine there or CVS when they have a Buy 1 get 1 free sale. Linda

I also get mine at WALMART! I get all my vitamins there- cheap!

I also have started taking Biotin. I actually bought mine at Meijer. My sister is a hairdresser and she says that anyone who has surgery will lose hair at about 3 months out because of the anesthesia. So, even if you get the protein in, you will probably still lose some hair. ~~ Angie C.

I had gotten all of my protein and still lost mine about 3 months post-op. Then about 3 months post-op from my revision. And then about 3 months post-op from my hernia repair! The last 2 times wasn't near as severe since I was taking the Biotin. I take 5000 mg ones. I got mine at Kroger I think....but I've also found them at Walmart, Walgreen's and CVS. Basically, anywhere vitamins are sold. Sherri
