HAIR LOSS

[Rubydoobie 12]

I'm a week or so past my 3 mo post op. As I was warned, I am experiencing Hair loss. My hair is dropping out like crazy - I keep expecting to find total bald spots on my scalp; luckily not for now. I made sure I took over 60 mg Protein, 2000 mg Biotin & 30 mg of zinc daily trying to forestall this hair loss obviously to no avail. My question is what was your experience? How many weeks did you have hair falling out? Did you find that it grew back eventually?

I am about 3.5 months post op and losing hair. I get in all my Protein. I just cut it all off and it made me feel better! Lol!

You can take all the pills in the world and it won't stop the Hair loss. It might help minimize it some but it will fall out. I did the same as heatwhip and cut it off LOL It was easier getting nasty clumps of shorter hair than longer hair. I'm almost 5 months out and been losing it for 2 months now. Plus, every morning my scalp hurts. It feels like it's been in a tight pony tail all night.

4 months out and it is coming out like crazy esp. After i shower and brush it out my brush is full of hair . I think im just going to go get it cut too. Been taking all my vits and Protein but still coming out

Im 4 months out as well and I am going crazy with the hair loss! Im trying to take all the Vitamins as well amd even have a Biotin Shampoo and its just bad. My husband is ready to ban me from the shower or brushing my hair in the house. Cutting it all off sounds like a plan.

I'm having the same issue at 5 months out. It started around 3 months. I was lucky to start out with a lot of hair but I can definitely feel and see how much thinner it is now. I've been good with my Protein and taking zinc. I've been using Nioxin Shampoo and Conditioner for about 6 weeks. I started Biotin yesterday. It comes out mostly in the shower and while I'm blow drying my hair! It's scary! I hope it stops soon!
