Clarification about hair loss
I was told a lot has to do with the anesthetic.
That is why we are told to sip/drink a lot to wash out/flush out from your system.
I was also told to keep the protien up because our bodies are using what we have to help us heal after surgery.
I never any hair loss after surgery.

"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.
