Megan,
I think the hair loss thing post-op is a bit of a crap shoot. Keeping up with your vitamins and supplements and taking biotin helps some people - others no.
I don't think there's anything you can do to guarantee there'll be no loss I'm afraid.
I've been lucky. At almost 7 months out, if I've had any loss, it's been minimal. I don't take biotin but I make sure I have a higher protein intake (around 100g), and I take larger amounts of most supplement (and include a few others like zinc, vitamins A and E etc. etc.) than most people. But it's all been cleared by my doc.
