Try 2400 micrograms of Biotin (taken daily) to prevent hair loss.

I know, I've been experiencing the same thing. I swear one day I'm

going to wake up with no hair at all...however...I spoke to some

people about this problem. We know that the body reacts to the

stress of the surgery and drastic change of intake of food in this

way. They say that after the first 3 months you will start to lose

hair, but after a few more months, it will stop on its own.

First suggestion they made...start using Nioxin shampoo and

conditioner and some of the products that " inspire " hair growth. The

other suggestion was to start taking the Nioxin vitamin tablet. I

have been taking one a day for the last couple of weeks and I don't

know if it's the vitamin or the fact that I'm now 6 months out, but

slowly the amount of hair coming out is diminishing. I have also

heard that taking the supplement Biotin is helpful in this area.

Some people react to the surgery this way, others don't react with

hairloss at all. Lucky us, huh?
