Crazy Hair Loss! HELP!

I was sleeved in October. About a few weeks ago I started losing a ridiculous amount of hair. I mean clumps of hair coming out at a time. I am taking all my vitamins. Multivitamin, Biotin, Omega 3, Iron, B12, and Zinc. My labs came back great. What can I do to stop the hair loss, besides buy myself a wig? :(

if anything it might help stop any further loss.

I was sleeved July 2012, and I've lost well over half of my hair. I have an appt with a dermatologist Friday bc my nurse practitioner was so concerned about it not slowing down and the amount I've already lost. We know it's normal, but she didn't want to assume its from the surgery and it be more serious for me. I'm getting all my protein, taking all my vitamins including biotin and hair & nails vitamin, using special shampoos & hair protein treatments. I, too, am very concerned about it. I find my hair everywhere!!!! Good luck to you!!

Shelly I've just started taking zinc and EXTRA biotin and started drinking protein shakes again. In a matter of a few days I feel like my hair loss has slowed a bit. Not completely stopped but I'm losing less hair. Give that a try too. I'm just as frazzled as you are! Hopefully this nonsense stops! I want to try as much as possible before I start using hair treatments. Keep me posted on your progress! I'll be praying for all of us! :)
