Hair loss vitamin suggestions
I am 6 months post op. I do take a multi vitamin and calcium. I still track my protein intake and rarely go below my suggested levels. I did try Nioxin for 60 days to no avail. I have heard that anesthesia could cause hair loss, but at this point in my journey I was hoping to be regrowing hair, not loosing it. Does anyone know anything about Biotin (sp)? I look forward to hearing from anyone with suggestions....Kimberly
I was told Biotin 5,000 and zinc as well by my surgeon.

I have had hairloss from my medications before wls and now I am scared of losing what I was gaining.
I use the ENJOY hairline (it is awesome shampoo and conditioner I think better than Nioxin).
I am taking more protein in due to the hairloss scaring me.
You need to try the shampoo - you have to get it through a hairdresser though - I also used Nioxin vitamins before surgery and need to use them again after I finish these chewables - but they are huge and need to be crushed.
