Same thing happened to me. I didn't go bald, but I sure thought I was going to. I did add extra Biotin to my vitamin regimen, which made the remaining hair and nails stronger, but will still not keep it from falling out. It stops falling out all by itself, but the important thing is to keep those nutrients going in. If you can't eat them all, take an extra multivitamin/mineral cap. I was taking one in the morning and one at night, because of the malabsorption factor to insure I was getting enough vitamins and minerals. Good luck!

Sorry to say, but it sounds like you're right on schedule. My starting falling out at about the same time. Don't panic, more than likely it will stop on it's own. My doc says that this happens because right after surgery we're not getting enough protein in, which is perfectly normal. Try to get as much protein in as you can. Also, I think the longer your hair is, the more it will fall out, because when we bru**** we are pulling it out. My solution was to cut my hair. I've never had it this short. Between increasing my protein and cutting my hair, that pretty much took care of the problem. Fortunately for me, I had tons of hair, so the loss was not that noticeable. Don't get too upset it will probably in a few months. Joanne
