Starting a thread about hair growing back!



Recommended Posts

Okay..so like clockwork my hair started falling out at the 3 month mark exactly and continued for 3 months exactly. Clockwork.

Now it's growing back and it's so "weird"..kinda curly (previously bone straight) and so fine! I look like I'm sprouting chicken feathers! Lol!

SO what about you? Is you hair growing back different than what fell out?

Most of the time it's barely noticeable to anyone else but us.

Really?? Oh thank you!! I have super thick hair too so that should help! One thing tho, I will be going to my hair stylist as last minute as possible before the wedding for my usual highlights, which is very hard on hair anyway. I've never had any problems with it in the past but do you think this will pose even more Hair loss for me?

I don't think so..talking to people and my own research has convinced me that there is nothing that can prevent it. And once it starts there doesn't seem to be anything to stop it. But on the other hand nothing seems to make it worse. And I asked my weight loss counselor if she'd ever seen anyone go bald as a result...her answer was a resounding "no"!

What we are experiencing is called "telogen effluvium". If you google that you will get a better understanding of process.

I use to have super fine thin hair , and it seems since surgery it has grown faster and thicker? I guess from all my Vitamins and healthy eating? I was terrified of my hair falling out more or thinning. Do you take B12 shots monthly? I do and take two flinstone vitamins chewable daily!

@@SusanB55 I also have thick hair so even though a bunch fell out, it was only noticeable to me. I took Biotin but I seemed to grow hair everywhere but my head! I practically had to pluck my eyebrows twice a day! I also took (and still currently take) beef Gelatin which is supposed to be good for hair, skin, and nails.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
