Hair Loss?

[kimberlee1235 52]

I'm sure this has been talked about a lot on here in various threads, however it's kinda hard to navigate through everything. I'm probably going to be having surgery in August and I've read about so many people having major Hair loss. This TERRIFIES me. I have hypothyroidism and I already deal with hair loss as it is...im getting married in January and KINDA don't want to be bald for that! Would you all mind sharing your experiences with this? Thanks in advance

I also have hypothyroidism. I had surgery in November. My hair was pretty thick before hand. It is very thin now but I have never been close to bald. I worried I would be by seeing all the hairballs in my brush and in the drain. (so gross, sorry!) I take a Biotin supplement that I get over the counter in the herbal supplement aisle. I lose A LOT less hair now at 7 months out, mostly due to having no problems getting my Protein in I think. I don't think you will be bald for your wedding. I have read a few threads about Hair loss but I personally haven't seen anyone complain about actual baldness. Good luck!!

Hi, this was also a concern of mine too. I started losing my hair at about 2.5 months post op and stopped losing it in my 7th month. I lost about 33% of my hair and because I have religously been taking Biotin 10,000 mcg and silica, at 9 months post op, I have a full head of hair. 33 % is new growth and it is growing really fast. I don't find very any hair in the drain any more which is very pleasing to me. I had no bald spots, it was distributed evenly through out my scalp. People don't even notice that I have lost my hair. So glad to have a full head of hair.
