Is it bc we had surgery or change in diet??

I went through radiation so I remember but this seems worse..

worse than radiation?

Seven months out and I have stopped losing my hair finally! Yayyyyyyyyyyy! I started taking biotin and silica and have hair growing where I don't want it to grow. LOL But I have a bristle head where my new hairs are growing back in. Their about 1 inch in length. Love it! So happy to grow hair!

I don't know why I am stressing this so much

I haven't lost any hair. I have had many surgeries and not lost hair.. Who knows why??

I did lose some hair when I had my children many years ago.

I am 6 mo. Out today and no hairloss so far.

Fingers crossed it stays that way.

lost hair with kids? sure you didn't pull it out? lol

Ok just found out that hair loss is a side effect post op.......not happy - hope mine doesn't fall out

Really worried about losing hair. I lost a lot when I was 22 from stress and a poor diet, it never grew back. And on top of that I have eczema that causes damage to my hair follicles and prevents hair regrowth. I guess it's time to start looking at prevention methods. I'm expecting to have surgery in November.

I'm sittin here right now at the salon. I thought I lost enough hair to make wigs for a village of bald pygmys. My stylist says "man you have a lot of hair! " and he saw me before too.

My stylist told me " look at all your cute little WHITE hairs!" it's growing back. It's just coming back silver. HUMRPH!!

I am 19 weeks out from surgery -- I started the hair loss at the 16 week mark. My hair is fine, thin and I have eczema. In preparation for the inevitable, I have taken Biotin, hair/nails Vitamins, NuHair leave in serum nightly, and used Nioxin shampoo/conditioner since about 2 months prior to surgery. I knew these wouldn't prevent the trauma reaction from surgery, but I still needed to be proactive in some way. For those with thin/fine hair -- I don't lose my hair in "clumps" or "handfuls" because my thin/fine hair doesn't know what a "clump" is. I lose my hair in strands and I see them in my comb/brush every day or feel them in my fingers when washing my hair. It seems to be focused on the crown and I actually started doing the "comb over" technique which made me SO PROUD.

Last week I went to my stylist who cut my hair short and in layers and I swear my hair feels healthier and is not falling out as drastically. I HIGHLY recommend seeing a stylist soon after the hair begins to transition. This week I have enjoyed the multitude of compliments on my new hair style. It is all part of the process and I hope my hair begins to regenerate at some point, but I think I will just continue to make more frequent trips to see my hairstylist to keep the illusion that my hair is as healthy as my body is becoming.
