Is it true that majority of people get thinning hair loss for a while after surgery?
thats what i’ve be told. Its bben 13mos and I haven’t noticed any hairloss.
8.5 months out of surgery and yes I lost hair. It has slowed way down. Luckily I had thick hair so it is kind of hard to tell. I know because I watched it all go down the drain.

Not everyone experiences this.
I've had 2 rounds of it. My hair is extemely thinner than it was. However, it's growing back. I have a ton of new growth. My dr assured me it's pretty normal due to shifts in your hormones, similar to how it happens after pregnancy.
I'm almost 3 months out and haven't noticed any hair loss so far. I took Biotin tablets and used Biotin shampoo for a month or two pre-op and continue using it now. Some people swear by it, others say it doesn't do anything. All I know is that (knock on wood) I'm shedding about the same amount as usual so maybe that's a factor. I also read that it sometimes happens a few months after surgery so maybe it just hasn't happened yet....
I wouldn't worry, I have never heard of anyone going bald and I've been here about 5 years! It happens, but grows back.
