    The Hair loss is a very common & temporary side effect from the shock of the surgery & weight loss. Your natural hair loss cycle has been accelerated. It will stop - usually after about 3 months but some take longer.
    The hair you’re losing is already dead and would have been shed anyway. It’s just falling out more quickly. supplements won’t change that - fertiliser can’t save a dead plant. Your new hair is growing but it’s growing at it’s usual rate. Losing hair or losing weight? I’ll take losing the weight everyday.
    As you’re losing weight a lot of hormones that were stored in your fat are being released into your body. The increase in oestrogen causes a few issues for we women. Many experience heavier, more frequent or more painful periods. My menopausal symptoms disappeared. The pimply bumps on your shoulders could be from the oestrogen surge too. It is temporary & once you’ve stopped losing weight it stops.
    Oh & too much Vitamin B7 - Biotin - can cause skin irritations. 10 000 mcg is what B7 deficient people are prescribed.
    If you are concerned, check with your medical team.
    Good luck.
