I’m almost 7 months, it’s slowing down (finally)

I just thank goodness I have really thick hair. There's a huge handful of hair on the bathroom floor every single day! I try to only wash it twice a week, I use good quality Shampoo and conditioner and never, ever blow dry or use flat irons. I do hope it stops soon, though.

I did have thick hair until now. I just hope this slows down or stops before I am bald!

Can't be sure I'm even losing any, I'm a natural strawberry nlonde, red-gold hair, we have the fewest hairs per square inch in the first place. I keep my hair in a pixie- modified shag, I am not a fussy-hair person, rather gently slap on some makeup and face the world bravely. I do want glam shots when I get closer to 200 but that's still over half a hundred away. So I keep on keeping on, trust in God's Love and deal with everything I'm given or granted. I am honest to the best of my abilities, Frustr8 is just what you suspect, a an still obese lady trying her best to lose her fluffy fat and so the inner me can shine out for all. I am your best friend but rile me once too many and I can make a fearsome enemy if necessary. Evil looks and a sharp tongue, I grew and deserve even one of my thin red hairs. So world, better treat me better than you have, I roll over for no one, no time, not anymore! Frustr8 Power forever or until I stop breathing!

It just started for me. Every morning handful of hair. Not loving this at all!!!

I had Hair loss up until 11 months, but I had thick hair to begin with and I feel like it actually improved after the LOSS process stopped and I kept getting healthier. I'm over a year post op now.

My Hair loss started like 2 weeks after surgery! I'm a little over 3 months now and it is like cobwebs of hair coming out in the shower. Ugh. I was told around 6 months+ the hormones will start evening out and all that, but everyone is different. I'm taking a keratin supplement for the heck of it but that does nothing. I also have insane explosive acne now and spotting even though I have an IUD and haven't had a period in 5 years. I can't wait for my estrogen, etc, to chillllll.

It's been one year since my surgery and though I think my Hair loss had finally stopped, I have not begun growing hair back. My hair is still sparse and completely thinned out. I used to wreck pony tail holders, now I barely have enough hair for one. I can't wait to see if my hair comes back. I've accepted the loss if it doesn't and will look into hair pieces and extensions.

I read a recommendation from another surgeon to take Biotin 10,000 mcg to help prevent Hair loss. I started this 2 weeks after surgery when I started the other Vitamins, I'll let you know if it works. Might just be snake oil, but it can't hurt anything to try.

[Liz The New Me 281]

I started to double up on the Vitamins.

In the am - multi for her / hair-nail / prenatal.

In the pm - a different Multi / Calcium

It's been 2 weeks since I started this and using Shampoo with Biotin / once every 3 days at night spray vit. E

I see less hair in the drain shower and on the brush. But no regrowth yet. Passing on what I see or not see LOL
