Help!!!

Please help me!!! I am just over 5 months out and I cannot control my hair loss. I have lost at least half of what I used to have. My protein intake is at 60-70 grams per day and I am taking my vitamins like a good girl. Any ideas? Thanks.

I don't know what to recommend.  I had the same problem and it lasted about 3 months.  I had a lot to begin with so it wasn't a huge issue but it was kind of alarming. 

I was told that it is a combo of the surgery and the anesthesia - I lost more hair than anyone I know - litterally had bald patches the size of a nickle - we were living in the desert at the time so I shaved it all off and wore hats and when it grew back it was thick n healthy as ever

You need to check with your doctor before making any changes, but higher protein and a biotin supplement helped me. 

Thanks!

I started losing hair at 3 months out, stopped at about 7 months out.  It all seems to be growing back...but my hair lays REALLY funny with all the little short stuff growing back in!  I added a biotin supplement to the other vitamins.  Also, this might be a good time to get a shorter, layered cut if you've been wearing your hair long.  Makes it look a little thicker! 

I already have an appt to cut it a little shorter! Thanks.

Take biotin.

Biotin, which is a B vitamin helps some.  Nioxin Shampoo and Conditioner helps some also, you have to get it from a professional salon.  I used the Nioxin and didn't have much hair loss.  

It last about 3 months and is due to anesthesia and forced malnutrition (which is basically what we do initially out of surgery).  Try not to stress about it too much, a shorter cut with layers from a good salon will help tremendously.

Thanks
