Default Hair Loss

Hey guys. I am curious if any of you experienced the hair loss I hear the ladies talking about? If so, did it last long? Still happening?

I am interested in hearing your comments.

Thanks,

Jeff

Smile Hair loss...

Requires you to have hair to loose!!! LOL
I have had short hair for many years, so all this talk about hair loss was lost on me!

I am already checking out my hairline in the mirror every day. Maybe I really am losing it, but from age rather than nutrition.

The hair on my back seems to be intact. On top of my head, it was already thinning so I don't know if it's related to the surgery or not...if I lose much more, I'm shaving it bald...I have a decent enough shaped head and think I could pull off a Telly Savalas look.

Is there such a thing as a back hair to scalp transplant?

Nope, none yet, but I am only 2 weeks post-op. Are you on a strong vitamin regimen? When ever I take vitamins my hair grows faster and thicker. Hopefully that compensates for my body changes. Of course, I have a lot to loose. See Pic.

agreed. Most of the time people expeirencing hair loss are doing so from lack of nutrition and lack of protein. You get what your body needs everyday you shouldn't be having any problems

My hair is so thick, while I did lose hair, it didn't show.

Vitamins and protein help slow it, though.
