After trying some of the other suggestions on here, nothing worked for me and even months post op my hair continued to fall out. Then I found some research months ago that suggested extra iron and upping vitamin c as this is needed to help our bodies absorbs the ferratin (iron). I actually found a BOOTS own brand Iron and VitaminC combination, started taking those and never looked back. I no longer have thin or bald patches, My hair has grown back and has definitely Stopped falling out.
