Lookingforward-About 4 months after my ileo surgery my hair started falling out. The doctor said it was common after a high stress event, such as surgery. It lasted for about 6 weeks. I lost around 40 percent of my hair. I was devastated too! But it has grown back, thank God! Good luck to you!

Yes!! Very common. nbsp; I lost almost all of mine after having 4 surgeries in a row, three of them emergency. nbsp; It grew back curly, which I have never had before. nbsp; Then after my neck surgery in October 2018 and my son's death in December of 2018 and the ongoing stress from my upcoming divorce, it has started to fall out again by the handfuls. nbsp; So darn depressing!! nbsp; It is called Tulogium Effusion. Not sure if I spelled it right!
