Post-Op Hair Loss?

I have only taken two showers since my surgery on Wed. but both times I have noticed quite a bit of hair falling out each time. More than normal for me.

Anyone else have this? Does it quit?!!

You need to make sure your getting at least 60 protein a day. If you aren't it can cause hair loss.

Hair loss after being banded is associated with not getting your protein requirements in over a period of time. Four days would not be long enough to cause this. Maybe you should contact your primary care giver. Good luck.

I also think four days would be way to soon, you need to call your doctor. Good Luck and let us know what she or he said
