Body Hair - Did You Turn Into Bigfoot???

  I mean I know I have huge feet due to LE, but seriously ... !   I've noticed in the last few months that I seem to be getting body hair where I never had it before (never been a hairy person, pre-op) and the areas where I had it already seem to be getting longer faster in that regard (like you know where) ..    It's ironic that we often lose some of our head hair during the first few months post-op (I did some, but it has since apparently grown back in) ..  so why does just the oppostie seem to happen ot the body's hair (or at least in my case)?  is it a hormone level increase thing (i.e. testosterone)?   is it the supps we take as post-ops (although I'm no longer taking the Biotin supps)?   is it because there is less skin or skin surface area post-op that it just gives the illusion of more hair?

Let's see...I think it's primarily the fat's not chaffing it off any longer, so it's allowed to grow. Then because you slim down, the skin retracts and the hairs are closer together.

But testo sounds cooler (grr!)

Or it could be that you haven't been able to actually see your hairy places until you lost some belly fat. I know I am starting to be able to see "Mr. Whiskers" for the first time in a long while. Joe

 It is because there is less skin or skin surface area post-op that it just gives the illusion of more hair. That was easy!

My eye brows, finger nails and toe nails grow out of control lately. For the first time in my life I am going to look for a place that can groom my eye brows, I am pulling out long ones every day.

 Even before the hair thing started, I noticed the same thing with my nails, Chris ..  I just assumed that is in response to all the high calcium citrate supps I'm having to take (+ Magnesium and Vit. D.) ..   ?

I noticed the same thing this past summer playing tennis when I could see my back hair in my shadow... and I was wearing a shirt! But seriously, I think the other guys got it with the hormones and non-rubbing skin.

Mr Whiskers made me spit lemonaide out my nose.  That was funny.

Good to know I am not the only Sasquatch here. Now if only those guys with the beef jerkey would stop messing with me!

I haven't noticed anything like that post-surgery. But as I'm getting older, I have noticed this in general, but long before my surgery. Like, why are my nose hairs suddenly growing out of my nose? I have to trim them now. And what evolutionary advantage does ear hair give us? Someone please tell me that!
