Mine started coming out around the third month. So I had it cut short for the first year.
“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”― Marc Hack

Hi,
I am just shy of 5 months post op and my hair is coming out a lot now. It started around 3 months and was more and more over the 4th month. I had long dark hair (down to my waist almost) and over xmas (one month post op) I chopped it it up to my shoulders. I am fortunate because I do have a lot of hair and the loss is only noticeable to me, tons coming out in the shower, a ton in my hair brush, tons on my sweaters, coat that kind of thing. I told my Mom the other day how much hair I am losing and when I saw her in person she said "what are you talking about, you still have a ton of hair" so I think its my own vanity that notices it. I was REALLY upset about the fact that we lose hair as part of this surgery process. I remember in my Orientation class of all the things they told us that statement hit me like a ton of bricks, but now, after losing 80 lbs and feeling on top of the world because of how good I feel and how much energy I have and how much my life has changed for the positive I would take hair loss any day. Having this surgery was one of the best things I ever did. So I lose some hair, I am gaining so much more (confidence, new clothes 
LOL LOL)
Take care,
Daisy
