Congrats on doing so well, and keeping it off. Stories like yours are always encouraging to others, "myself included". I am six months out, and of course having hairloss issues. That being said, I know this is all normal, and just something that I have to dredge through, but I have heard some say they started regrowing their hair after four months, and then there are some that said their hair never came back the same. Since you are a few years out I was wondering if you could comment on what you went through with your hairloss? I guess I want to know did it ever go back to what it was before having the DS?
Thanks bunches

Hi!

congratulations.

I did lose hair, yes, it does come back.

i  did stop menstrating for about 4 months.

i figured it was menopause . My period came back  & so did my hair.   My hair is thinning 

and it's never been thick anyhow.    Aging

heridity. What ever. 

let your hair be the least of your worries!

there is so many cuts,tricks,a good stylist can help you with.  I color mine and have a pretty good style .my hairs thin , it does not ruler likey doze did.   Best!   Gwyn

Thanks for posting.  Nice to see folks maintain their weight and lead a healthy, normal life without the DS being the focal point of it all.

Congrats on your 6+ years. I'm getting ready to have my surgery this friday. Do you have any advice for a newbie just starting out?  What would you say the pros and cons of the surgery have been for you or any struggles you might have faced?  Would love your input.

Hi Gwyn.  I sure miss seeing you.  Hope your labs are good and that you are healthy.  The kids must be all grown up!!!  I am back in Alabama going on 3 years I think.  Tom died this summer (we broke up 3 years ago but remained close) and I got engaged.  Just moved to a new house and, like you, just living life THIN and HEALTHY.
