Does everyone lose a noticeable amount of hair?

[Dr-Patient 830]

I had no unusual hair loss until this month--11 months after my VSG!! [My VSG was Dec. 4, 2013]. It's coming out by the handful. I am so bummed. My hair has thinned terribly, and its length broken off. You can see 'through' my hair to my scalp. Every time I just comb my hair, there are so many strands of hair. Hmmm.

Fortunately, it's fall/winter; the temp is cold, and I love hats. Maybe I'll don them most of the winter as I hope my hair will grow back.

Does Biotin really work for folks? Some say yes, others say no. Any advice? Thanks in advance; and happy thanksgiving to all.

I'm losing hair about the same rate as after I gave birth to my children 20+ years ago. I notice it, my stylist can kind of see it, and my husband sees extra hair in the bathroom but that's it. Biotin is a no-go for me thanks to the way it accelerated ALL Hair growth (ick) so I'm just dealing with it.

Ironically while my hair is fine, my fingernails are horrible. They only grow out a little bit then chip & split. I hate fake nails & overlays but I may do that to see if I can grow them out past the splitting point.

Omg yes!!!!! I always had long awesome nails strong, now they peel and chip and break. I like my nails kinda long but now I can't even do that. Yesterday I cut them all. So I'm gonna be bald with short nails ???????????????? I still would do the surgery again if I had to tho.
