Well, here's a new one for you. I am over a year and a half out and noticing some hair loss lately. Has anyone else experienced this this late. I already went through the early loss stuff and its grown back nicely. I don't think I've changed much in the vitamins etc., except a few brand name changes and I don't do chewables anymore. I also stopped biotin long ago. Any suggestions from you long timers???
Hope it is easily rectified,

I am also 1 1/2 years out, and have been dealing with this too recently. I immediately checked the protein and am well within that 60-70 range, but have a thinning issue in the front...I thankfully had a thick head of hair, so it's just noticeable to me mostly there. But it's hard to hide there, too.
I had cut back on my B-12 to once every other week, as my B-12 levels were through the roof. Supposedly that isn't a bad thing, but even my surgeon suggested I cut back. Lately I've wondered if it's dropped maybe, so I'm back up to once a week, and am calling my nutritionist Monday to check in on this. Might be an idea for you too.
