Hair - Finding it here, there, and everywhere...
Completely empthasize with ya Lala!. My hair loss started at 2 1/2 months post op, and by 3 1/2 months, I was noticing a little "rug" in the drain every time I took a shower, and a lot every day on my hair brush. It got so bad, I was seriously thinking about saving it to fashion my own wig! Since I had thin hair to begin with, it was VERY disconcerting, and I was sure I'd be bald inside of a month! 
While the hair loss was definitely overall thinning, and not in clumps, it was still very difficult to go through, as my hair was about my only physical asset I was proud of. But fortunately, no one else seems to have noticed, and now, at 6 months post-op, it has finally subsided. I also now notice a lot of new short hairs popping out. Kind of looks funny, since I always had straight long hair, and I now have a sort of fuzzy look to my hair, but I'm definitely glad to know it's growing back. I take Biotin; I was told it woldn't do anything to stop the loss, but it might help with the re-growth, so I figured it couldn't hurt!
Hang in there -- this too shall pass!

Hey Sistah,
I started shedding at a lil over 3 months out. Every morning, I run my hand through my damp hair and pull hair out. I'm hoping I'm in my last month of this sheeeeet. I expected this so I'm not having a WTF moment. I'm not bald. I can feel a difference in the thickness, but nobody else can tell or if they can, they've known to keep their pie hole closed. I have new baby hairs sprouting. I'm all about big Texas hair, so I'm rejoicing over this!! On a side note, why can't we lose leg, underarm, or down south hair. I mean really, shaving is a pain in the arse.

Hey Sista Friend...
You always keep me laughing. I love the commentary about leg/underarm and hair down south - Serioulsy why can't we reap a benefit.
I have always had baby fine, super wavy (baby curls) hair, but LOADS of it, but I blow dry it straight. I am hoping the sheer volume of strands will keep it non noticable or like you said other will keep their pie hole shut!!! I may have to go more natural and let it go wavy to keep the volume. I have a "thing" about having my hair curly/wavy due to my BIG OLE face and it just makes it look bigger.
Having baby hairs to pump up the volume would be a plus!!! Like you Texas girls we here in Atlanta love the big hair too!
Hugs to you hon!!!
