    it'll stop. Then it will grow back. And for many of us, we're the only ones who really notice it.

  • 5 months post-op and have lost so much hair. Thank God I had a lot to start. I can see and feel new hair all over my head.

I'm taking Biotin and using Nexium and Minoxidil and I haven't noticed any additional thinning or loss beyond what I already had due to thyroid issues

I had surgery may31st and i definently see a difference in my hair. This gross looking pic is only 3days of brushing my hair. It didnt used to be like that. :(

Yup, me too. This, too, shall pass! I'm enjoying my short, thin haircut for the summer. My hair loss is probably less dramatic looking, because I did get it cut short. My drain will not look nearly as clogged as yours. Hang in there. We'll get through this. :)

I had surgery a year ago and I'm still losing my hair. I cut my hair short and use biotin and collagen shampoo. I makes my hair look a little fuller
