    Despite taking biotin and B-12 since June of 2015, it has finally happened to me! 10 months post op and I am seeing hair breakage around my temples and frontal scalp. Isn't this a bit late for hair breakage? I was expecting it around 3 to 6 months not 10 months post op. Veterans, how long did it take for you to go through this phase before hair started to grow back?

      I am seeing short hairs but do not believe it is regrowth. I feel it is my hair breaking. If it is regrowth I never noticed that I was losing hair before. Hope you haven't lost too much hair and if so, it comes back quickly.

      I don't think hair breaking is a typical side effect from surgery. The normal side effect is hair completely falling out from the root, not breaking, and not 10 months post op. My guess is that you have something going on that is probably unrelated to your surgery. If I were in your shoes, I would start with asking my hairdresser, PCP, and dermatologist. Good luck!

      Heck. I TNOUGHT mine was slowing til I washed my hair today. Damn. Worse one yet. But. I can also see new stuff growing in. Odd phenomenon isn't it? I'm two days before my month mark...

      Perhaps it is because I'm still losing weight rapidly, but I have zero interest in trying to slow it down.
