Losing my hair!!

WLS in December and now handfuls of hair are coming out. I know its from the anesthetic and the shock of surgery but there is a lot of hair here! I'm taking protein and vitamins and drinking. Anyone else? Is this just when it happens? How long does it last? Will it come back? Help!! Carol

Carol, you are right on target. The hair loss begins usually at 3 months out and will last for 3-6 months. Make sure to get enough protein in. I got more in than suggested and still lost hair. It did come back. Unfortunate side-effect of WLS. Hang in there. How's everything else going? How are you feeling? Exercising? Keep doing what the Dr says. Good luck. ((HUGS)) Elissa
