I've shared this article on here before, but I think it's an interesting read that has probably gotten lost in the numerous threads about hair loss.
It's not always a nutritional issue such as lack of Protein, or Vitamins. It can happen with any surgery or trauma, not just WLS. Also hormonal changes can also cause the hair loss, and we all know it's an emotional rollercoaster post-op.
