It has begun...
VSG on 06/25/12
I'm almost four months out and the hair loss has begun. For the past two weeks I've noticed more hair falling out but today I noticed a lot more! Ugh! I know this is normal and I can't really do anything about it. I just hope it isn't too noticeable!
I have noticed that my scalp has been itchy lately? Any thoughuts on whether or not it's related to the hair loss?

The hair loss is normal. I have a bazilion little hairs growing back in. Having fun pasting down all the little 2 and 3 inch hairs so that they don't stick straight up.
Ths itchy scalp is another issue, imo. Worthy of a call into your doc, imo.
I have severe allergies, had them for years. This sounds more allergy-related to me, but I'm not a doctor. Talk to a professionsal about it.

Do you have dry skin anywhere else on your body? I would say that itchy scalp could be allergy related, but if you are suffering from dry skin n other places, odds are that is causing the problem. Head and shoulders 2 in 1 with conditioner works wonders. I have to use it every year around this time and through the winter (dry season) or else my scalp itches so bad I feel like I have lice! Turning on the heat in our one makes it worse, and despite drinking loads of water I still have to use the special shampoo and moisturizing lotions every single day.

I am now 7.5 months post op and every day,just as I am optimistic that the hair loss have stopped,it comes out in strings when I wa****Now I am starting to be a little scared about when will this stop?
We actually have more hair than we realize as I have lost since month 4 steadily all the time.Everything is full of hair.
I wish I had those gazillion little stand up hair,I would feel so much better when I can actually see some regrowth.
Just dont freak out with every strand that comes out,that is a lot of freaking out I have done over the past 3 months and I know it will be ok and grow back.But I still have a silent freak out all the time about it (silent as my family is sick of checking to see if my scalp shows...lol)
Good luck and it will pass...I hear....lol
