Hair loss question

Does anyone know specifically what minerals and vitamins we are missing that causes the hair loss post-op? I see a lot of people talking about the effects of anesthesia etc. and I'm sorry I do not buy it. I've had 3 general anesthesia surgeries, all about 2 hours, which is what my surgery should take barring any complications and never had any hair loss. I have also gone cold turkey and lost 200 lbs in 13 months with no hair loss, but I did it on normal food and the standard pyramid system, so I wasn't likely missing some nutrients that I will after WLS. So I feel it has to be from lack of certain minerals, vitamins, nutrients and a multi-vitamin is not enough to compensate. I've tried to figure out what are the vital components to try and load up on those in hopes of eliminating or minimizing the hair loss. I assumed it would grow back but I just talked to someone tonight who's sister now wears a wig. That I did not want to hear. So what has everyone tried with success and are there any nutrition experts out there that can help me figure this out? Heck I finally just dyed my grey hair and I don't want to lose it now! Getting ready for my new look early!
