I'm waiting for my hair to fall out.  I'm just really curious about what will happen.

Mine didnt really start falling out until like 3 months or so. Then all of a sudden, when i wash and condition my hair, it comes out in clumps. I feel it sliding down my back in the shower. I try to wash every other day, as it does not fall out as quick as when I wa**** I tried using biotin shampoo and i take like 10,000mcgs of it every day. But it's still thinning. Ive never looked good with short hair, but im thinking of redesigning it for a new look - now that both chin 1 and chin 2 are gone and i have a neck again :)

I'm at 3 months in 4 days.  :)  I shaved my head for charity about 6 weeks ago and I'm pretty fuzzy now!

It makes a lot of sense ... I'm almost at 3 months out so I'm starting to get nervous about it lol.... 

And Gwen didn't you shave your head a month or so ago!!!! 

Is it growing in now... or was I dreaming it.....

I shaved it about 6 weeks ago - it's about 1/2 inch and fuzzy now!  I figure if I get bald patches I can just shave it again.  But I'm just so curious :D

My mom had the bypass and didn't lose any of her hair, I hope I don't either.

I hope I'm not jinxing myself,  but I'm in my fifth month and am not really losing any hair. It's hard to tell because I naturally shed a lot anyways.

I will pray every day that you do not. Even with my rapid hair loss would not change a thing about the surgery...after all I can always buy a wig and have perfect hair every day lol.
