Hair Loss?

Those of you that are post op, what has been your experience with hair loss after surgery? Even though I have read over and over again that 3-4 months out, it will stabilize... It is one of the side effects that I worry about often.

I am shedding also, but shoot I have wigs, clip ons, tracks for my hair so I refuse to stress the small stuff...:)

When did hair loss stop? It's really bad for me right now and it's really thin on the top and some on the back... :/

My hair stop falling off like when I hit 11 months

If that's the case at this rate ill have no hair left :/

I'm thinning out more up front right now. I had nice lux hair for years and now it's more like straw and getting thin but as much as I don't like it I can deal with it. I'm trying to remember the greater goal and I can always get a wig.

My hair stylish said its growing back & now I'm able to do styles unlike before. I'm just used to my darn hat so I'm in hiding but my hair is fine & healthy. I went back to black hair to cover the grays Lolz I figure less damage to my roots.

I think my hair loss is the last thing I should worry about tho. Remember that this is only temporary. I'm actually having fun wearing my clip in weave to get back the fullness and add a little length to the back.

If you can't achieve it.. weave it![/quote']

How are you getting in all of uour protein?

Mine is awful. As a hairstylist myself it freaks me out because its more than I've ever seen any of my clients lose. I have thick hair to begin with, so I didn't think it would be that big of a deal,

But it's all at the scalp that I notice it. This handful is after one shower.
