When I lost hair from month 3-7 following my vbg, it was expected .....

I had a lap vbg on 2/18/00 and lost nearly 100 lbs. I also lost a lot of hair from months 3-7 post-op, but knew it was coming and the hair did return to some extent. Well lo and behold, here I am 15 months post op. My weight's been very stable for 6 months or so. So why in the last month has my hair started coming out again! Especially in my bang area (mostly the left side of my forehead). I am becoming almost obsessively upset over this, since it can't be related to rapid weight loss this time, and since I don't have an expected end in sight like last time. I just see myself going bald at 35. Has any other 1-yr+ post op had this happen? Any clues? Did it come back again? Or as my mother-in-law said, am I just shedding for the summer? HAHA.
