hair usually doesn't start falling out till month 3-4 if at all. Not everyone loses hair.

I didn't feel sick but I felt really tired and took frequent naps during the first 2 weeks. I went back to work the Monday after surgery..(surgery was on Tuesday)

I had my surgery on a Thursday and went back to school on Monday. Full days sitting at a desk. I was a little tired, but I was not in pain. I felt good. I couldn't lift heavy weights or bend over very well but everything else was fine and nobody could tell I had surgery.

I am also petrified to lose my hair. I have long thin hair, so if any falls out, Ill surely look awful. I know that taking my Vitamins will help, and making sure to hit my Protein every meal, but that's honestly the only fear I have about getting the surgery. I can handle anything else, but my hair??!?? That will surely be hard. Well, at leasy I have about 2 months before surgery to stress over it and hopefully feel more comfortable with it.

My hair loss didn't start till month 3.5 and now I'm almost 5 months and still losing some hair. But they say that is normal until about month 6.

I had very little pain. I was able to get in and out of bed right after surgery. However, I was EXTREMELY nauseous for about 1.5 weeks. My plan was to go back to work after a week off but I was too nauseous for that. I did a few half days the 2nd week but didn't really feel like myself until week 3.

However, healing and recovery time is so individualized. Some people go back to work after a few days and others can't move or walk for a couple of weeks. So, it really depends. :)
