My hair has gotten so thin

[pik 262]

It already falls out because of the chemotherapy I take, but I have been off of that since the end of June. I can only guess it is due to the surgery.

I am just hoping it stops falling out at some point. With the small dose of chemo I take every week, I do have regrowth. With this, it just seems like it is falling out with now recovery!

Is this going on with anyone else, or has it happened to you? Does it come back in at some point?

it is very normal around 3 months post surgery and it does stop and grow back from everything I have read. Biotin chewables help according to some folks.

My understanding is it starts falling out about 3 months post-op and lasts until about 6 months post-op. Mine is also coming out in handfuls. Luckily I have thick hair so you can't tell, but man if I didn't I would definitely be bald.

I am 3 months post op and mine has been coming out also. I understand that it can happen and that some of it has to do with anesthesia in addition to having the surgery. Most say there's comes back and some use Biotin Shampoo and find that really helps.

With chemo and surgery, I think you may be double whammied, so to speak. I would talk with your doctor and see if they recommend upping your Vitamin D3 and B12 in addition to adding Biotin shampoo.

Bless you,

I am having issues with strictures and being able to eat and drink right now. It takes me all day to sit here and take my medicine. I do take Vit D already as prescribed by my Rheumatologist. I take 50,000 IU two times a week.

I may see abut this Biotin shampoo. Thanks everyone!!!

My stopped falling out just about a week ago. I'm almost 7 months post op. I remember it starting to fall out around the 4 month mark.

8 months post op and my hair has been recovering for a couple months.

I'm not sure about a Biotin Shampoo but there are biotin supplements. My Dr recommends 10,000mg per day.

Nioxin is the Shampoo system. My hair dresser said it won't prevent loss but helps it to grow back!

Does the Vit D help with joint pain?
And my hair just started coming out in clumps in the shower and when I comb/pik it. It's depressing. I thought it wasn't going to and I got lucky but nope.

If you are Vit D deficient, you exp more pain. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and when my levels are below normal, I cantell it. I take 100,000 iu per week to stay where I need to be.

I am having a lot of Hair loss. Handfuls after showers.

You and I can be a couple of baldies together and just rock it!

We'll get to go wig shopping! YAY!

It really is rough seeing all of that hair come out. I guess the best thing to do is stay positive if we can!!!

The hair falls out due to lack of Protein. However there is several weeks lapse in seeing the effects of lack of protein. You must get in all your protein in.

[itsmekarenlee 129]

Mine is not sure to a lack of Protein. I know that for sure. In fact, my bw protein level was good. It's from the rapid weight loss+anesthesia, or just the anesthesia.
