Is Not Losing Hair Normal

Okay, don't get me wrong, I don't want to lose hair, but since my surgery, my hair and nails have been growing like crazy. My hair is thicker. Am I just lucky.  My nut says it happens to some and not others and that my balanced clean diet may be helping.

Thoughts?

So far I haven't lost any hair, but I know I'm still early out. 

Because I'm so vain, I've been obsessed about protein levels from the start, which might have something to do with it?

 Yeah, I have been that way about protein levels and have taken 1000mg of Biotin since 6 months before surgery. I can only imagine this has helped.

Andrea,
my hair is very thick and i lose a lot every day anyway its normal for me. so maybe im lucky too not to have thin areas like some have

So far so good for me but I'm early out too!  I have thick hair and have always had to clean out my brush every other day.

My nails are strong and long too!  I figured it's all the vitamins...we'll see!!  I definitely think your diet is a huge PLUS!!!!

I think like anything else in life there are always differences.
Some here seem to experience significant hair loss and some not as bad.
I think that if you were able to keep your protein levels up and with the biotin, you may have dodged that issue.
The bariatric doc told us in a support group meeting that people seem to have less hair loss when their protein intake was 60g+.

 Thanks for that info. I'll count myself as lucky.

Andrea,
I didn't lose much hair at all.  Mine is very thick.  I was taking vitamins and other nutrients(not biotin) way before surgery so I don't know if that helped or not.  I was going to the gym before surgery also and don't know if that was a factor. 
I was not eating very healthy before surgery.

 I too was doing all those things, plus going to gym. So maybe I just dodged a bullet, but who knows I'm in my 7th month. Who knows what is to come.

Hi Andrea, I am 5 months out and haven't lost any hair.  Not takin Biotin or anything else either....considering myself lucky, but still watchfully waiting...  Continued luck to us both.
