My hair didn't fall out until about 5 -6 months after surgery, and then WOW it was falling out in clumps. My hair got really thin. I immediately started taking the Biotin. It slowed down and stopped, but wasn't growing back. My hair was still wispy and thin. Then at about 14 months out it started growing back. I had a "halo" of hair sticking straight out of my head. I didn't care. I was delighted. Well, I'm almost 19 months out, and it started falling out AGAIN. I'm so disgusted. I haven't recovered from the first time!!! I never stopped taking the Biotin. I suspect that it could be my thyroid. I may need to have my meds adjusted. I noticed that my sleeping is not as good, I have nightmares, which is totally out of character, I'm getting little rashes on my skin, my bowels are irritable and I have constant gas, I'm more prone to depression and temper tantrums and I can't seem to regulate my body temp. I'm burning up one minute (not sweating, just dry burning hot skin) and shivering the next. So It's time for more blood work....... Bummer.
