" hair loss '

i am 5 months out from surgery and have noticed that i am losing a lot of hair when i am washing it. thats the only time that i notice it. i thought the hair lose stage was around 3 months out. any ideas ? - amanda

I'm so sorry Amanda! I hope it quits! It seem so ironic that just at the time we start feeling really good about our morphing bodies, hair loss kicks in. Make sure you are taking your vitamins and know it is temporary. If you look closely you should be able to see the new short hairs. Your note just reminded me to take a hair vitamin!!! Joy

My hair didn't start falling out until the 4th or 5th month Amanda. My doctor said it is because I am taking mega doses of vitamins and all the new hair is pushing all the old hair out and not to worry about it...yeah, right, easy for her to say, I'm the one going bald here, lol. I have read several posts though that say when it did come back in that it was fuller and thicker than it was pre-op, so I guess I can live with it hoping that I will have a lot more hair than I started with, that would suit me just fine. My doctor does have me on Biotin, I'm not positive if it is helping yet or not though.
