*MORE* Hair post op?

[Matt Z 4,139]

Ok, so this might be a little odd since pretty much all the posts about "hair" are about Hair loss, so far, a few weeks shy of 6 months and I haven't had any hair loss.

I have noticed *MORE* Hair or at least the appearance if more hair... body hair. Has anyone else noticed that their body hair appears to have increased? I read that it might be pore density, which sounds plausible at least, the whole, same amount of hair folicles/pores that are now closure together due to the weight loss.

Anyone else have any thoughts, insight, comments, experiences with the appearance of more body hair?

That's funny I was just telling my wife the other night "I think I am getting more hair all over" she laughed and said I was crazy!!! But you thoughts very well could be true

Weight loss causing changes in the male hormones that impact on Hair growth?

That's another potential! Reductions in estrogen from fat loss will cause the ratio of estrogen to testosterone to change.

I'll take Hair loss on my head, over a gain of body hair... any day. Thank you Matt for putting things into perspective.

Yep. That's my bet. More HGH, more testosterone and androgen production/release/conversion. Yippity dippity doo!

It could be effect of biotine (if you take one). Biotine promotes Hair growth.< br>
Looking forward to my VSG!
