    Default Found thinning all over the top

    I'm not sure if anyone is following this thread, so I may be sending these out to no one, but I guess writing them down helps.

    After my surgery I've focused solely on my hairline, where the grafts were placed. My forelock became fairly thin after the surgery, and my surgeon has looked at it twice and assured me that it would recover. I hate looking at it, but the reassurances were enough to get me through.

    However, I've still had heightened shedding of non-miniaturized hairs, which I assumed were coming from the front, like protracted shock loss. Today I carefully went through my top and crown area, and discovered--to my horror--that it's visibly thinned. If I part my hair, you can see back through the parted hair. You could never do that before. Both surgeons that examined me before the surgery said I had no thinning in my top/crown. So what is going on? Why am I losing NON-MINIATURIZED hair from these areas? There were no grafts placed there. Is this going to stop? I'm pretty close to panicking; I had 100% density in those areas with a nice thick head of hair, and it's starting to flatten with the thinness. I've got awful visions of going to a NW6-7 by the time I'm 12 months from surgery. I mean, if this continues...

    Thankfully, Dr. Gable worked me in this week, so hopefully--fingers crossed--he can give me some answers. Because this is hard to take. If *anyone* has any thoughts about this, I'd really appreciate it.
