Default Has Anybody NOT lost Hair????

I was reading another thread about hairloss and wondering if anyone on this forum who has had GBP has NOT lost hair. With so many people on this forum, it seems like we could try to figure something out to minimize hair loss.

Not me. I will say that my hair was so thick to start that the thinning out has actually helped the texture and ease of managability. So it is startling to see it come out in the brush and drain, it has not been a major concern. If your hair is thin to start, then it will be more noticed.

Yep, mine is coming out...but I don't care!!! The surgery is worth it...even if I go bald I still wouldn't care. Hubby is bald, so we would match.

I'm 4 months out and haven't lost any more than I normally do. *knock on wood* My doc had told me as long as I get in enough protein for my body that I shouldn't. I average about 70-80g a day, and I take my vitamins religiously. I've known a lot of people who start Atkins and lose hair as well (which also never happened to me) so maybe I'm just weird

You crack me up!!! I thought that, too before and wondered why all of the ugly hair stays. Like why did I have to get my lip waxed? How come that hair didn't go away.

Another thing is why can't PS surgeons do tummy tucks without changing that hairline down there? I know it is off subject, but wierd. Ya know? I don't think we can catch a break at all. LOL

My hair really thinned out...had to cut it off and now it is growing back in thicker and wavier...strange.

Like Cindy said...I would care if it all fell out...it is worth it. They have beautiful wigs nowadays.

Hmmm my luck,,when they do my TT they will raise my pubic hair line to under my breast....I am scared to have a TT..but if I ever do it...I want him to draw a line showing where the hair line will be.

Mine started falling out right around 4 months...and I always get in my vitamins and almost always get in my protein.
