Hair loss?

It is true hair loss does happen? Just on the head...or will I finally lose that embarrassing hair on my chin I have to keep shaving?

Sadly, only the hair on your head is affected. Not everyone loses hair, but MOST people lose some and MANY lose a significant amount.   I was in the latter group... I lost half of mine between months 4 and 9.

Like Lora- I lost a lot of hair so far and am still losing it. My hair lost started at week 5 and it still going. Its a little noticeable but more noticeable to me then to anyone else. I'm confident my hair loss will stop soon and the hair will start growing back.

i am 2 years out and a hairdresser, so i lost hair up until about 6 mo and then it slowed down a bit.  Eat alot of protein, as much as you can cause it will keep your hair growing.  As for hair on your chin, stop shaving it, you r making it grow quicker and thicker, wax it off a couple of time and you wont have to deal with it near as much and when it does come back in, its thinner and less noticable, and wax it again.  The good news is usually when you loose the weight the hair on your chinny *****hin goes away, its a hormone thing most of the time.

I too suffer from hair thinning but only I seem to notice it.  It started at about 3 1/2 months post op and now at 6 1/2 months seems to have tapered off quite a bit but no new growth yet.

My girlfriend and I was just talking about the unfairness that the ONLY hair affected is on top of our head.  All OTHER hair growth seems to be reacting positively to all the extra vitamins, extra protein, biotin, etc that we are taking.  I sure wish my bikini line would have been affected by hair loss but OH NO, that for sure did not happen....just say'n.

try bleaching the hair on your chin, my sister had a lot of very dark black hair on her chin and upper lip like a mans, and instead of shaving it she bleached it and it wasnt as noticeable.

I am almost 6 months post op and still losing my hair.

i always get a small peach fuzz mustache that drives me up the wall. i ordered a small tube of hair remover from avon. i only have to use it every other month , like once. it works great . i think its like 6 bucks but lasts about 6 months.

I just ordered the hair removal from AVON...thanks again.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate you all telling me the truth. I will eat a lot of proteins and try the bleaching and the AVON product for my face. I am glad to hear the hair loss stops.

Thank you all.
