I had Gastric By Pass surgery June 1st of this year. Four months later I started loosing my hair, in the hairbru**** has gotten much worse so now when I wash my hair I get two handfulls (the size of an Orange). I was not told we would loose our hair and am very upset about this.
I have read numerous articles online and all say it will stop falling out usually by the sixth month.
I've been told to take different supplements but so far none have worked. Has anyone else experienced hair loss and what did you do? Thanks for any information.
Happy Thanksgiving!

 I have suffered A LOT of hair loss, I am taking 5000mg of biotin twice a day, and also just went and saw a dermatologist and started taking Rogaine. :(  It has actually gotten better, but since I am getting married in 4 months I am a little panicked ;).

So sorry about your hair loss.  I had VSG surgery two years ago and never had loss of hair.  I diligently kept my protein intake very high.  Drank protein shakes and any other protein I could get my hands on.  I still drink protein shakes everyday, because I crave them and I know they keep my levels up.  Good luck to you.
