Question for you all . . .

Hello I had surgery in Jan 06 and I started shedding my hair (not clumps Praise God) in May. I wanted to know if you experienced hair loss has it stopped yet? I know you are further out than I am and I want to know are you still losing it or is it growing back now? I'm taking all my vitamins plus a hair and nail vitamin and biotin. I also keep my protien up with two shakes a day and with my food consumption always protien first. I'm afraid I will be in wig by the end of summer so any encourgement or advice you can provide is appreciated. What an inspiration to read about all your success - You Go!!! Many Blessings! Jean

Hello Jean, I would like to welcome you to the October Board. WELCOME! As for the hairloss. I started losing mine at about 4-5 months out. It came out in clumps and I always had it all over me by the end of the day. Once I hit 6 months out, it started to stop and grow back. So don't worry, it's normal. Erin

Love your new pic.....

Thanks CL. And might I say your looking very pretty. I love yur new pic as well!! Erin

Erin, I'm so sorry you lost your hair in clumps From the looks of your picture girlfriend you look AWESOME so a clump of hair sure didn't stop you. Looking at your picture I get excited about my journey because I have 60 more pounds to lose. You look AMAZING!!

Jean, that is so sweet of you to say. Thank you so much. If you ever need anything, or just want to talk, you know you can email me anytime! Erin 292/170/151

I shed for about 6 weeks from month 4 to almost 6 months, but then it stopped and I had so much hair to begin with, that I made out o****pt taking my my biotin and zinc as I did from the beginning and I bought hair thickening shampoos, etc, don't know if it made a difference, but it was worth a try!
