How Long will this go on?!?

Hello,

I am 5 months out on October 7th an am down 62 lbs..

Last month I started loosing hair. Tons of it. Luckily I have a lot of hair but it's annoying when my back is covered in my hair every day. I pull it out in the shower and when I brush it. It's awful and annoying.

I knew this would happen.. I know there are threads on this but I'm looking for some fresh perspectives on how long this lasts???

I have been taking Biotin and Multivitamins since before surgery. I get 60 grams of Protein in a day and wash my hair with good hair loss shampoo...

I just wanna know how long?!?!?

Yep.. If it's gonna happen it's gonna happen I just wanna know how long does this go on for...

I am 3.5 months out and my hair is falling out big time. It us such a bummer. I take 5,000mcg of biotin a day- I may try going up to 10,000.

Mine started about 3 months & pretty much stopped at 7 months. It can be distressing but it will stop. I was lucky I had a lot of really thick hair to begin with. Good luck!! I also don't think it matters how much protein you consume or how many vitamins. I was getting all of mine in & it still fell out in handfuls????
