Hair lost
Are you getting enough protein in your diet. Protein is the building block for hair, also for nails and much of the rest of your body.

Hmmmm I am not sure what it would be, but be prepared to be disappointed. Hair loss from wls, likely will not be helped by that type of product. Hair thinning / some loss is not uncommon in wls patients. In part, the trauma of surgery is believed to contribute slightly to that. But the biggy, as Kathy wrote, is getting in enough protein. There is also a product called Silica you can take that will help with that as well. But always always get in that protein.
Hair loss after WLS usually kicks in around 2 to 3 months after wls, and usually stops around 5 to 6 months post-op. I lost a tad, but hardly any at all. Also make sure you are getting in all supplements. There are other vitamins, that if deficient can result in hair thinning / loss as well.
After wls we are in a state of malnutition. The last thing our body is interested in preserving is our hair! So.. if you are deficient, you will be very prone to thinning.
Hope this info helps!
