Thanks for being here. I have a feeling I will be asking a lot of questions in the next few weeks.
welcome to the forum, i take a multi vitamin that has biotin in it, it may help with the hair loss, it may not...i think pretty much everyone that has any type of surgery losses some hair no matter what they do, its just the trauma to our bodies that causes it

good luck
