It is best to follow up with your doctor for post surgical issues.  Your doctor can better guide you.  There should be no issues with using coconut oil.

If you are losing hair and want treatment options, it is best to see a doctor for a proper examination and diagnosis.  You can't think about how many surgeries you many need if you haven't even had one surgery.

Each person and each doctor may have different opinions and or needs.  There is no right answer to your question.  Transplanted hair follicles usually shed before new hairs start to grow.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  After 14 days you should be able to wash your hair normally without any issues.

It may take several weeks to see how your donor area may turn out.  At this point it may be too early to tell but if you're concerned it is best to contact your doctor.

There are no products that will make your hair transplant surgery grow any better or faster.  The success of your hair transplant surgery is primarily dependent on the doctor and the technicians who worked on you.Vitamins or supplement are your choice to take.
