When was your surgery?  

Basic info says that if you don't get enough protein, you will notice hair loss/thinning approximately 3 months after severe protein deprivation. 

If your surgery was just this month, it may be too early to tell if its from lack of protein or just a hormonal imbalance.  I think either way, its worth a visit to your bariatric surgeon or PCP so they can run a little blood work on you.

Are you keeping a food diary to see where you may be lacking (if at all?)

Hope that helps a little.  I haven't had much thinning yet.  I am praying I don't experience that at all.  I only had surgery on sept 4th & I'm trying my best to keep protein counts waaaay up there.

Hang in there,damurphy0526.

Try taking Biotin.  That is supposed to help with the hair loss.

I had thinning hair but that was because I have PCOS.  The doctor told me it is a Vitamin B deficiency, so I take super B complex, and my hair is back.  Ask about that.
