Thank you so much Wheetsin, I checked out the previous link and saw your posts there as well. I guess I was mislead to believe that if you were "suffering" trauma from surgery it would happen much sooner, seeing your post helps me to understand that my 3 months later is not that unusual. I had a hysterectomy at a very young young age and never suffered hairloss at that time, but I am in a much different "life pattern" so stress makes a but more sense as a cause. I am so lucky to have found this board.
Is there, by chance, an archive of "what i wish I would have known..." type of issues? like a friend's guide to banding? This would be a perfect item to include. i did ask my doctor about hairloss prior to surgery because I had a friend who had Gastric bypass done and she had lost a lot of her hair, i was told this would not happen because my stomach could still absorb most nutrients, so even the doctors seem confused.
