Hair Loss after surgery

Now that we are talking about odd things after surgery...At about the one month mark my hair started falling out in handfuls! I have waist length thick curly hair and was mortified. My surgeon laughed and said that was how he knew I was losing weight but it freaked me out. He gave me vitamin injections for one week then I had to cut it into a bob. After that I was put on low estrogen and it has seemed to stop and is growing back. I just hadn't heard anyone talk about this is all.

I've heard that happening to people who are not eating enough Protein. Make sure you are getting enough protein and you should be fine! :wub:

And... Change (cutting your hair) is always a good thing!:unsure:
