I am one month out from surgery. I took biotin for years before my operation. I really like Nature's Bounty. I was taking anywhere from 5,000-10,000mcg. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow with my surgeon. I am hoping he says I can start taking it again.

I did not take any before surgery but started 2000mcg after surgery and now take 5000mcg. I started losing my hair at 3 months and it is very thin now, you can see my scalp. at almost 6 months I feel it has slowed. but I really struggled to get more than 60 g of protein in a day and I have lost 83 lbs in 5 1/2 months. Most B vitamins wash out fairly fast so I doubt how much preloading will help. I really think hitting your protein goals will help the most. I lost a huge amount of hair while breastfeeding and it all grew back. I have much better protein intake now. I would still do it again in a heartbeat. I just wish I had had access to pure protein 30g protein shakes back then. Most of my buddies in support group grew all their hair back.
