I had surgery about the same time you did.  I've been eating protein and taking biotin, but my hair is falling out too.  I can't see my scalp yet, but it could be a matter of time...

I recall that others on the board said their hair fell out at about 3 months, and that most of it grew back.  That's a good thing, as I have fine hair, so not somuch to lose.

I'm about 8 months out and my hair loss has significantly slowed down.  My surgeon reassures me that all should be back to normal in another 4-6 months.

Would be nice if it came back in curly.

 My surgeon said the hair stops falling out when the rapid weight loss phase ends.  Wear it as a badge of accomplishment.  I've never seen anyone at support group who's hair didn't grow back nicely.

I'm getting the works Stacey.  Body work on Friday with a Facelift a week from today.  I'll write a post about it.  I'm getting excited and less scared now that I know it's out of my hands.
