Hair Loss

Has anyone suffered hair loss after their surgery? I am about at the one year point and was wondering if it gets any better?

My hair is falling out at an incredible rate. I'm at 5 months, and I have faithfully taken protein and vitamins. It's looking really bad. I'm feelin pretty down about it. I really don't want to wear a wig in 97 degree weather.

Mine fell out from month 3 to month 10. Six months later, it's growing back. Don't worry, you won't be bald--I got pretty thin, but no baldness!

I feel your pain and it is very depressing but we have to focus on the positve. I don't regret the surgery but the hair loss is hard. It was coming out a lot after three months but I have noticed it has subsided. I am using nioxin and that has helped.

I use it once a day every day, about a quarter size. Give it a good two months. I don't see as much coming out as o use to.

I bought it at style America and paid about 30.00 for the shampoo and conditioner and a topical solution. It's lasted me over three months and I use it daily.
