My Gosh, when will it stop??

HI Denise, I am the same date also and it seems to be slowing for me. I was told it usually takes 8 weeks AFTER you notice it. I am about 7 weeks into that stage. I have hair all over. I can no longer wear black tops unless I have my hair all up! I used to complain about my thick hair, but now I am very glad I had it to loose. I also got it cut, so that seems to help!! Good luck to you. Can you believe tomorrow it will be 5 months out!! YEAH FOR ALL OF US!! Sarah G. 2/16/04 -122

My hair has been coming out in clumps. I have very thin hair but a lot of it. My hair seems to be getting all over the place. I hope this stops soon or I will have to go the wig route. My nutritionist told me that at about your 6 month point, it should start slowing down. A few weeks and we will see. Jacque

I used to have waist-length, very thick hair. I didn't notice any hair loss for about two months (of course, I was in the hospital most of that time) and it was coming out in HUGE clumps. Because I was in such bad shape after surgery I had my hair cut so I could wa**** myself, had it cut to just about shoulder length. The hair loss slowed down a bit but even now it still comes out in large amounts. I've noticed at my post-op support group that EVERYONE has thin hair, yet no one is noticibly balding (except the guys!). I think eventually your hair will find its own balance point and stop falling out, I too have heard that it is at about the six month mark. Selena 315/235/-80

I have had the same problem as everyone. I have thick hair but I am losing hair quickly. One of my mentors suggested I try a product called Liquid Minerals. I asked my surgeon and he recommended it. He takes it for his own health. I purchased it at Sam's Warehouse. I have noticed that my hair loss is better than before I started taking the minerals. My surgery date is Feb. 25th so I am behind most of you.

I'm scared too! I have always had a ton of fine hair. It's coming out in CLUMPS and I can notice in my bangs that it has really thinned out. My question is - why do people cut it short when it's falling out? Isn't it more noticeable??
