what has been your experience with hair loss? I am interested in anyone's experience who is willing to share...did/are you experiencing hair loss? when did it start and how long did it continue? did your hair grow back to the way it was pre-surgery? how bad would you say the hair loss was? did others seem to notice your hair loss? anything else you care to share? thanks

I'm 7 weeks out and I have bald spots despite taking in more than my protein requirement. I'm a woman so it's extra embarrassing for me it's very noticeable.

I have spots also. Im still shedding but it has slowed down. I think that I see some regrowth coming in. When it first started coming out, everyone noticed it.

I started losing my hair at 4 months. And it was pretty bad. I'm 7 months now and it has stopped. Thank goodness I have very thick hair. It was not very noticeable unless I wore my hair up. And my hairdresser could tell. My hair is slowly growing back but has not completely yet. I'm hoping it does eventually.

I started losing hair at 2 months---I am 8 months post and the thinning has slowed down. I have thick and no one seemed to notice except my grandchildren, children and husband.

I am still pre-op but I have been preparing...I have thin hair but alot of it, so it looks like I have thick hair, its above my shoulders..I bought a shampoo called "Biotin & ??" at CVS for around 5 bucks..it comes in a short, round plastic bottle. I have been using it to thicken up my hair & it has helped alot..using it about a month now..

thanks for the feedback, y'all...I am at a little over 5 months, and about a month ago (so around 4 months), I started very noticeable hair loss...I have also been keeping up my protein and vitamin requirements and thought I had "escaped" the hair loss risk...I was wrong apparently, so now I am just wondering how long this is going to last and if I will see any re-growth
