Vitamins?

Okay so I have not had surgery yet but vitamins are one thing I am not sure about.  I already have thinning hair due to a pre exsisting condition.  What at the best vitamins to take after surgery to try and help prevent further hair loss.  Also, what vitamins do you guys reccomend in general?  I know protein is the main thing to help prevent this but wanted to know what types of vitamins everyone takes.  I saw on Walgreens they have some vitamins by Optisource for bariatric patients.  Anybody tried these?  Also anybody ever take cod liver oil?  I read that is good for hair and nails.

My hair loss after surgery was muy mal! So, I started taking Biotin (bought at Wal-Mart) and pop 2 capsules a day. I've been taking it now for about 6 months and my hair growth has been fantastic! Even my beautician commented on how fast my hair was growing back.  I would encourage you to take Biotin to help with hair and nails. I swear by it! I believe I take about 2000mg a day. (I'll have to double check on the dosage though) Good luck to you-- Dee

Hey girl!!! How are you doing???? I agree with the other posts... I take my vits. and take 2 biotin a day... helps with the nails too!

I am good Sara and how have you been?  I am just patiently waiting for insurance approval.  Do you just take a regular multi vitamin or do you take the ones made especially for bariatric patients?  I think I am going to start taking some biotin now!

I take a regular chewable multivitamin.... I think the ones especially for bariatric patients are over priced and whats the point when ya get the same stuff from a multi vitamin yanno.
