How long after surgery did you experience hair loss? What was the worst month?

I am 2 months out and am experiencing a great amount of hair loss. Should I have this much this soon? If so, what will the following months look like. Do I need to research wigs now?

It will last for about 2 to 3 months until you can get the necessary protein in. But I found that prenatal vitamins and biotin are a great help in slowing down and stopping hair loss. Don't worry it will definitely grow back for me it grew back much thicker than before

I took Biotin from day one. My hair thinned out a bit but only I could notice and it wasn't actually visible. WHen I put it into a ponytail to work out, that is when I can tell--the pony tail is much thinner. But I can also tell I have a lot of regrowth coming in.

This was my number one concern before surgery. My hair is fine and thin and was already thinning on top. I had surgery Sept 16th and my hair started coming out at the two month mark and it's still coming out. When I wash my hair, my hands are covered in hair. It's everywhere in my house.

I'm hoping it starts to slow down soon, otherwise I'm going to have to buy a wig.

I had general anesthetic three times in 8 months. They warned me that I would start losing my hair. I started taking Biotin and Vitamins (at the recommendation of my surgeon, I take Flintstones for Kids!) right away. I am two months out (Oct 28) and my hair is falling out, but very slowly. If you are pre-opband worried about this, you might want to start now.

Ojon revitalizing and thickening shampoo is amazing! I use to have really thick hair and starting at about 3 months it fell out by the handfuls. It got so thin that you could see scalp. I did some research and so far the best product I've found was this ojon. I got it at Ulta. It's like $25 for the shampoo and another $24 for the conditioner, but we'll worth the money. I wash my hair every two days and it instantly began to feel like my old head of hair again. I love, love, love it!!
