Ok so I was told about the 4th mos I may see a little hair shed. This didnt concern me because factually I have TONS of hair. But now it needs to stop. Will it stop, slow down and cease? Im really trying to get my protein in and Im taking Biotin as well as my other supplements and vites. Please tell me it will stop and soon. Im grilling up some steaks tonight but not a huge meat eater.

I wish I could tell you that there is a way to magically avoid hair loss. No matter how much protein you eat, how much biotene you take, how much water you drink and how consistent you are with taking vitamins, you will still lose hair for 2-3 months. It is a bummer, I know, especially if you are blessed with beautiful hair before surgery. I can tell you it does stop though, usually after 3 months of loss. What you are losing during that 3 months is a lot of lower quality, not so healthy hair. The weakest hair strands will fall out. From what I have read, the loss hair is replaced by new stronger, longer and healthier hair before the 1 year post op. Hang in there and know we are all pulling for you. Believe that hair will come back stronger, longer and healthier soon.

Thanks Fiddleman. Did you lose any?

Yes, I lost my hair for 3-4 months. It piled up on my iPad as I was reading and writing posts on VST. I did get a little concerned and my wife definitely noticed. I always had really thick hair for most of my life. It is now back to a good solid mane of hair. I did not take biotene, but consumed a lot of protein (120 oz at the time) and took my vitamins without fail daily.

My hair started at 4 months and a lot came out!

But at six months it's stopped. It's still thin but I am hoping it will grow back soon
