Vitamin biotin and zinc

I hearing more and more about the hair loss and acne after WLS and the more research I do i see biotin seems to be the best thing for hair but what about zinc that also seems to be for skin and hair which is better?

I have very little hair lost at 7 mos. post-op.   I used the Biotin 1000 mg.,   I also got a bottle of good   Head & Shoulders and used it a few times when my scap got dry.  It helped alot.

I am using biotin, seems to be helping.  No info to share on the zinc though.  Bestest of luck with you.

 i keep waiting for my hair to quit falling out from my tummy tuck surgery.  i was just starting to slow down from the bypass. now i noticed i am getting a receding hairline on my right side. yipesssss!! don't know what i will do to get it to stop, maybe get some biotin. i have heard pros and cons about it.  vick

I am a big believer in Biotin and increasing protein to save your hair. Zinc, I have not heard a lot about, but believe we get plenty if we are taking a good quality vitamin supplement.  Sorry i can't help more with this question.
I am having my plastic surgery in 17 days. I was told that when I hit 15 days before, to start increasing protein and stop any vit e or other things that can thin blood. BUT I have decided that in addition to upping the protein, I am going to add in biotin just to help keep any possible hair loss at a minimum. I think the healthier we get our hair before wls or any surgery, the better it will fair afterwards.
