i am still a few weeks away from my surgery but i am hoping to find out what i can do to help prevent hair loss.

is there something i can do before surgery to help make it stronger and fuller? and what supplements do i take post op to help with that?

Very worried to lose any hair!

Get a cute hat. Seriously though, I started biotin prior to surgery and
increased my protein. I was determined not to lose my hair. I even increased
my healthy fats, coconut oil, avacado stuff like that.

 My hair started coming out in clumps right after
surgery, doctor said it was from the anesthesia.
I would just hand the clumps over to my husband. I don't know if anything 
 really works.
We put our bodies through heck then we have major surgery and put our bodies
through more heck. The hair will grow back and is nothing compared to
how great I feel now.

Best wishes to you,
Dani

I agree we can do everything we can before surgery, but so far everyone is different.  I didn't think I would start losing my hair but it started to happen 3 1/2  months out.  Doctor told me it's inevitable because of the stress from major surgery and the fact that you are losing weight rapidly.  :) I am going to go blonde hahahaha or very light :) since I am losing it now lol.  Good luck
