how long for hair loss?

Anyone know how long until hair loss slows down and new hair starts growing? My hair was thin to begin with, so it's really bothering me now. I do pretty good at getting in the protein, although I know I wasn't getting enough while I was dealing with a stricture - twice. Marie

I was pretty fortunate and never lost my hair. I had beautiful red hair, the kind people pay money for and I cut it off because I was told it would probably fall out and I couldn't deal with it. Now I am in the process of growing it back. I'm 6 months out and the NUT said if I haven't had any hair loss I probably won't have any now. Stacey B

Well I have not had surgery yet but my Aunt had it years ago and she told me that her hair got thin. So I have started taking BIOTIN it is a oral dissolves under your tounge. But my hair started to thicken after 1 month. Ask your doctor first..... I hope that you can take it....

Hey Crystal, were did you find biotin that dissolves under your tounge???? please let me know. As for the question on hair loss.. I had hair loss around 5 months out, it lasted about 1 month. I started taking biotin it has helped alot. I was getting in all my protein, it just happens to some of us. My hair has started to grow back. Some have problems w/ hair loss some don't. Take care.

My hair grew out fast. Just look. kp

Hi Marie, Mine started at about 6 months post op. It lasted about a few months for me. I really had to increase my protein intake. Also, I do take biotin, omega 3, zinc and several other vitamins. I do think, in my case, it really helped. Good luck to you. Carey
