Yes, yes, yes. The best thing for hair loss is to take "Hair Vitamins" from your local pharmacy. They contains zinc, biotin and other vitamins and will stop the loss dead in its tracks. Good luck to you.

When I told my WLS surgeon that I was loosing hair he ran a zinc test on me. I bought some and take it daily. Although it seemed like the more weight I lost, the more hair I did too.

I just called my physician's office re: hair loss, and the nurse told me that zinc was supposed to help. She also said another patient recommended a shampoo made by Nexuus for thinning hair that worked well. I'm 4 months post-op, and I'm losing my hair at an alarming rate.
