Hair loss

[Iona 23]

What my nutritionist told me was that the Hair loss is actually the hair regrowth. Your body shuts down all non-essential processes during surgery and directly after, so by month 3-6 it's starting those back up and the new hairs push out the old ones. So it looks like hair loss, but it's really just a replacement period that happens to most people. The good news is that it will come back. The bad news is that you can't do much about it. I'm taking Biotin for strength in what I've got and trying to keep up my Protein amd Water for healing.

I cut my hair to a shorter, more layered look so it will be less noticeable. 🤞And I love the tinted dry Shampoo for making what I've got look fuller. Luckily, the worst of mine should be in winter, so I'm just going to stock up on cute hats.

My NUT told me yesterday the only, ONLY reason people’s hair falls out is because they don’t take their required daily Vitamins. I cannot imagine all of you posting here, after all we learn along our journey to surgery, are not taking proper daily vitamins on top of eating the way we are supposed to. What the heck was she talking about??

Your NUT is misinformed. Happens to me sometimes, can happen to others as well

Any major surgery can cause it. My daughter had a huge surgery on her spine.. took like 8 or 9 hours. She lost tons of hair. Her diet wasn't affected at all (other than right around the procedure).

That is absolutely not true.
