I haven't had surgery yet so I'm not currently having the problem I keep reading about,,losing your hair. I have a thyroid disease and have had to be on chemo treatments before due to an autoimmune disease..I really don't want to lose more hair. Is there anything that can prevent it from happening or something I can do now to prepare my body for the change?

Here I thought I had dodged the hair loss bullet but at about 4-5 months out I REALLY noticed it coming out in my hair brush. Even when I straighten my hair there's a ton of it in the sink! Not fun!

I started taking prenatal vitamins and biotin religiously maybe a couple months ago and haven't noticed a whole lot of progress but I think I'm just gonna cut about 6 inches off to about shoulder length and just deal with it. From what I've heard from everyone on here,it won't last forever and losing 95lbs in 6 months so far has been totally worth it. (40lbs to go but stalling a bit).

As long as I don't end up looking like my dad with bald on top and a ponytail in the back, I'll be fine!! hahahaha!
