Hair loss explanation from the Doc

I love what my doc says. He has no bald weight loss patients mine started thinning and then got a kidney stone so under knife again and ear surgery month later and another surgery which isn't helping. However what I found was wigs on eBay from china for like a dollar or couple bucks and ten bucks shipping and I got a ton of them and have so so much fun now being all different colors and cuts. They look amazing. Better than my real hair which is coming back slowly and I got a super short pixie cut. I take biotin and shampoos but not too worried. I'm down 123 pounds in 7 months and as I like to say. I can put a wig on but can't unzip the fat!

 Just checked all the hair that fell out this morning in to the sink.......yep, they all have roots.  I've also been getting 80-100 mg of protein every day so it's certainly not a lack of protein that's doing this.  The hair loss is just like the time I came off the Depo Provera shot (which I've been told is like after a pregnancy).  My hair is thinning, but I'm a long way from losing all of it and a short hair cut made a giant difference in my life.

I had hair loss from the root also at about 3 months post op; it has just about stopped at 6 months post op.  I had right amount of protein plus protein shakes, vitamins, water, some fruit and veggies.  The dietician says the boitin does not help with hair loss.

Great discussion with good information. Thanks, everyone. 

Um. If your doctor is referring to the typical hair loss that occurs a few months out from surgery, then your doctor is completely and 100% mistaken.

It is called telogen effluvium and the hair actually comes out at the roots. None of those products recommended will prevent it.
