I don't know what it is, but it seems like just the last week or so it's coming out in handfuls. Every shower, every time I bru**** just keeps falling out. I don't know why it started so suddenly. Also, I don't have the type of weight loss I would expect for this at only 52 lbs since surgery date. I know all I can do is eat my protein and take my vitamins, but this is ridiculous.

I think mine is starting to come out more than usual but not by the handful yet. Just seems like more strands of hair floating in the bathtub so far. Gloria

As of this morning in the shower I officially have started to loose hair by the hand fulls.. Before today it was just a little more than normal, but this morning was alot.. I have super thick hair anyway, but I don't want to end up with any bald spots.. If it happens though I know it will grow back and at least I will be healthy and that is the ultimate goal..

About a week ago mine started doing the same thing. Some days it seems so bad that I feel like I'm gonna be bald. I dont even like to cook for my kids cuz I'm afraid that they are gonna find it in their food. YUK !!

I am losing mine now too. I hate it, but I hope it won't fall out long. We can all share wigs, get tired of one just tradeit off.

I am losing my hair now too. I expected it and will just have to deal with it until it stops. I started to notice it last week. This week its even more.

I see a patterning happening with us Sept. losers. Mine is coming out too. Even my hairdresser commented. She said it even felt different. Hmmm. Not sure about that! Shelley

I recently started losing mine too. It was very long....past my butt. I didn't want to waste it in my hair brush so on Monday, December 24th, I had it all cut off. Locks for Love is getting 24" of very thick hair!

I started losing quite a bit of hair (or so I thought) in about early-mid November. Then f-fwd to about 2 weeks ago. Oh my word! I bru**** real good before my shower - getting a very full brush-full of it. Then I take a shower and it comes out by the fistful. And when I take the towel down, my hair is in 2 big mattes. When I'm brushing it out, I feel like I'm losing 2/3 of my hair. And my hair has definitely changed consistency! Much drier and coarser. It's been really scary the last 2 weeks. I'm hoping this won't last long --- does anyone know if there's anything in particular we can do to help ourselves? ~ Tara
