AM I ALONE??????
I also had surgery in October. Started losing hair in January. I got a shorter cut so I wouldn't notice the handfuls so much in the shower. My understanding is that it is the norm for most people. My hairdresser had the surgery 5 years ago and lost tons of hair, but it is all back now. Don't panic - just get a short cute do and enjoy the weight loss. I know I am. I have lost 71 pounds since 10/16 and feel terrific.
