Loosing Hair Very Fast 5 Months Post Op

[anniew 13]

I Know that Hair loss was part of the deal but this is CRAZY!!! I'm considering getting a wig. The only good thing is it only takes me 15 minutes to dry my hair and style it now, it used to take me double the time which means I probably lost half of it. Ugh! PLEASE tell me it WILL come back.

oh my! I am 4 months postop an Im ready to see it coming! I go to a support group once a month, and most of the ladies wear wigs! ????and another one mentioned that she did everything she was told and still lost her hair.....( so, I already checked out some wigs) good thing is, everybody says it grows back about a yr after the Hair loss starts...... not looking fwd to it! good luck!!!!

Do people really lose enough to have to wear wigs? I haven't heard that before and that is really scary

I know, it's horrible. Every time I wash my hair, I'm left with a tribble in my hands. I swear it looks like Donald Trump's hair piece. I'm on the Biotin and I've upped my Protein. Not helping yet. Thank god I have (had rather) really thick hair and you can't tell. But I can tell and I have to figure out how to fix my hair now that I don't have nearly as much. I'm at almost 6 months and I really hope it gets better soon.

Protein protein protein! I keep my protein level between 75-90 grams per day, and have only had minimal Hair loss (at 10 weeks post-op). I think many drop their protein intake, as they shift back to solid foods (because they can't eat a large enough volume of dense Proteins to make up for the loss of protein drinks), leading to more significant hair loss a few months after surgery. I'm still drinking my Muscle Milk once a day, and will add a Gelatein 20, as a snack, on days when my protein intake is running short. So far so good! Best of luck!

I'm there with ya on the hair loss- its really scary and what is gelaten 20?

My hair is falling out too. But stressing over it actually makes it worse!! I work in a salon so they told me just to relax. I wash my hair every other day. If it gets a lil greasy I throw baby powder in it. Good luck

Nothing is proven to 100% work but time. Mine came out in very large handfuls from month 2 through month 6. Then it slowed Down. At 8 months out it has stopped. It is see through but I can see regrowth. (it's all white but that's another story) good luck and I promise it won't last forever.
