OK, I am just about 5.5 months out and I have had some not dramatic hair loss. I cut my hair short in preparation.

I am noticing remarkable hair growth ON MY LEGS!

I used to get away with shaving every other day...oh no, not anymore...every day it is, or they are scraping each other up! Seriously, I can shave at 7am and by noon I can feel stubble and by dinnertime I can't cross my bare legs for scratching...It's driving me nuts! 

I wi**** was growing more/faster on my head!!!

I'm with you on the shaving, I use to shave ever 2 days before the stubble got noticable but now I need to shave everyday and finally at a year post op the hair on my head has stopped falling out and I'm getting really good regrowth finally.

Did you start taking biotin to help with the hair loss?  It helps with more than hair on our heads.....unfortunately.  If not, I guess you are so healthy it is stimulating your hair growth!

Kingston did not recommended Biotin, and when I asked they said to get my protein in and not take it. I am pretty good at getting at least 60 grams of protein in at the very least!
