Tiffykins 673 Posted January 27, 2011 At the top right hand corner, you will see a little box with a magnifying glass off to the side. If you'll type in "hair loss", it will pull up every thread/topic that discussing Hair loss and you can read many people's experiences. A lot of have repeated the same post. I do it because I know it's nice to hear, but if you want to get a lot of veterans and people that don't post anymore, I suggest using the search feature. There's tons of hair loss topics on the forum. It's the most popular discussion next to gas, poops, and how terribly miserable the 3 week stall is for post-opers.

SarahS 13 Posted January 27, 2011 I am currently losing hair! I started at about 2 or 2.5 months out. I am now about 3.5 months out and it hasn't stopped. I am starting to worry! You can see how thin my hair is now! I started with thin hair, so now its super thin. I usually pull it back, and there are spots now where you can practically see my scalp. It's very depressing, but if I could go back and redo things, I would do the surgery all over again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannalise 16 Posted January 27, 2011 It stops! Mine is growing in, and that is more annoying because I have little teeny hairs popping out of my scalp. But my butt looks good in jeans. Worth it! Anna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted January 27, 2011 I would say I lost 2/3 of my hair. I am lucky that I had really thick hair to begin with. I took Biotin from the first day I thought I might have sugery and I am still taking it. I also take a special hair and nails Vitamin. I got my Protein in over and above what was required from day one I used all sorts of special shampoos, including nioxin and Biotin Shampoo. Nothing I tried made any difference at all. I kept losing it until recently. I have new hair coming in all over the place. My hair looks like it's layered from all the new growth coming in at different times. From what I have read and been told, this is all perfectly normal. I do know some people who did not lose as much as I did, but they still lost hair mostly from 3-4 months until about 9 months post op.I read a lot of articles about it, and there is really nothing you can do to stop it.
