WLS hair loss vs. post-pregnancy hair loss vs. rapid weight loss hair loss

I have searched the library, and haven't seen anything relating to a correlation between previous hair loss due to pregnancy or rapid weight loss and the hair loss that many WLS patients suffer. I have lost copious amounts of hair exactly 3 times in my life: The first time was while I was living in the desert in Africa during the dry season when food was extremely scarce. I lost 45 lbs. within a matter of months (the only "diet" that ever worked for me!) and half of my hair. The other two times were after the births of my children. Only one response to any hair loss question in the library(that I could find) addressed post-pregnancy hair loss. Can anyone comment? Did you lose hair post pregnancy or weight loss and also post WLS (or one but not the other?). Is there a strong correlation (a loser is a loser is a loser), or is there some bit of hope for previous losers of hair? Thanks! waiting for surgery...
