Just wondering if any of my September buddies have started to experience any hair loss yet? I am so nervous about this and hoping I will be spared especially since I asked the Dr. to put me on Pre-Natal vitamins. I am so vain when it comes to my hair--especially since it is baby fine. Marianne

Yes. . . but my hair loss predates the surgery. .but it has gotten worse since surgery.

Oh yeah! Its coming out now. Luckily (or not) I have curley hair so I dont bru**** at all after its dry. But oh man do I get scared after I shower and comb out the knots. I know it wont help, but I've been taking extra Biotin, it wont help with the hair loss but it will help with the new growth. Good luck!!

Yes, I have started losing and it is one of my vanities as well. I started taking a biotin supplement and using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner and that has slowed down the loss for me. Marie

Oh yes, my hair has been falling out for about 3 weeks now. As someone else mentioned, i also have curly hair so it is not as noticeable to other people. I also have long hair that i am afraid i will have to cut due to hair loss. I got a shampoo and leave-in conditioner from my hairdresser, but like anything else, it doesn't stop hair loss but it does help the new growth. Good luck and if you find something else that makes it grow in faster, please share with the rest of us.

Oh my, has it ever! Im shedding so badly. I almost scream after showers. Luckily for me my hair was probably twice as thick as most peoples hair. My hair stylists arm goes numb after blow drying my hair, there is just so much. So Im sure I will get through it. Its still nerve racking!! With love, Em

Mine is falling out BIG TIME!! I have to wear dark shirts everyday now. I am taking Biotin which is supposed to help. Anyone else heard of anything else that will help? Please let me know.

Yes!! Mine started falling out about 3 weeks ago. I actually started looking at wigs, because if mine actually gets thin, I will have to buy a wig!! I am EXTREMELY vain about my hair!! My doctor assured me that I would NOT lose my hair as long as I kept my protein up... Well, my protein grams NEVER fall below 80 and are sometimes as high as 100. So much for that!

yes i started to lose hair about a week ago. It is not bad yet and I have thick hair so maybe no one will notice. lisa 279\215\150
