I'm 3 and half months post op and I have noticed that my hair has been falling out more then normal. All my vitamin levels are good. Is anyone else experiencing this and if so is there anything that can help?

Got biotin from my doctor's office. Said it will take over a month to notice a difference. Due to shock to system!

It's normal...just the shock your body is going through. I've been taking biotin that is suppose to help with hair and nails, but I'm still losing it by the handful. As long as we don't go bald, we'll be okay. It will grow back.

I have been taking biotin. My doctor prescribed me some medicine called spironolactone, but I'm hesitant to take it because it is for people with congestive heart failure and kidney problems. I was trying to look into more natural things. My hair has been falling out in handfuls to. I don't even like wearing my hair down because of how much I'm losing. Hopefully it stabilizes soon I really don't want to be bald.

I started losing my hair at month 3 and didn't stop until month 5. I didn't find anything that helped- I just felt lucky that I had really thick hair. I've been told it will grow back. I sure hope so. Sorry I can't offer help just wanted to share my experience. There is also a good website that offers explanation and maybe perhaps help.

I just hit 4 months out and it has been falling out by the handfulls. It's aweful. Hair everywhere! Unfortunately, I did not have a lot of hair to begin with so it's looking kinda scary. Will hopefully stop soon!
