Hair loss longterm

I'd like to hear from some of the long term DSers and their experience with hair loss. I am  following a strict regimen to prevent hairloss and know some is inevitable short term but how are you doing long term?  Did it grow back as it was before surgery?  thinner? 

I had crappy hair b4 the DS and still have crappy hair today.  But I didn't lose any!  My sister was almost bald postop.  Your body will do what it does!

I'm over 4 yrs out. The hair loss for me was pretty significant. The shower drain would be so clogged the water was above my ankles by the time my shower/shampoo was over. Yes, it did grow back. Listening to others here, and to my stylist, regular cuttings was key.  

I still have more weekly hair loss than I like, but menopause and family history, I believe, are responsible at this point.  You can't see my scalp anymore, but the thickness, and quantity is gone.

My daily protein intake is approx. 140 - 160g.

My hair fell out by the handfull.  I took a lot of Biotin also, which did nothing for this issue.  I think I lost half of my hair.  It took about a year for it to grow back in.  I started to see fuzzy stuff at 9 months, and that was the first sign it was starting to come back.

Now it is the same thickness as before the surgery.  I'm 2 yrs out.

Thanks All, this is reassuring. 

I lost a little during the telogen effluvium phase and nobody noticed but me and the shower drain.

I have a full head of hair today (almost 9 yrs later) and now it has a little wave in the back.

How funny.  So does mine.

No hair loss here.  I still get my hair thinned when I go to the hairdresser's.

I have lost so much hair that I have had to order a topper. I have lost 2/3 of my hair.  My hair was super thick before. My surgery was at the end of January.  I have almost no hair left on the top of my head.  Please tell me it comes back!  My hair stylist said if i hadn't started with thick hair I would be completely bald by now. I Never missed any protein and always took my supplements.  But would I do it over again knowing this?  YES, YES, YES!

i hope i dont go bald
