"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" Dr. Seuss
All three are causes
as well as, metabolic stress (complicated by the healing process post-op), hormone changes associated with weight loss, and inflammatory processes that change your immune system post-op. regards,

Just wanted to add people who go on a diet w/o surgery thus no anesthetic can lose their hair. I went from 256 to 200 and my bathroom looked like a horror movie. So I vote for #2. I was taking tons of vitamins so I don't see how it could be #3...but maybe more than 3x the USDA recommended allowance wasn't enough.
