my hair is coming out like crazy also. I am down about 70 pounds and am really concerned. Its so scary. I am making sure I get my multivitamin in and my protein I hear that by about 6 months it slows way down. I have tried nioxin but I do not think that is for regrowth. I used nioxin b4 I ever even heard of the surgery. My hairdresser said it strengthens your scalp and such. Maybe even thickens the feel. I just think we need to wait out the storm of the hair loss. Great job bythe way. You wont go bald. I am sure of it. hang in.
