Hair Loss after WLS

I'm in week 23 of my journey and for the last 3 of 4 weeks my hair has been falling out. So I decided to search hair loss and surgery. I found this article that says not only will you lose your hair after major surgery but also covers bariatric surgery. I feel better now, but check out the link.

What a great article and reassuring too! I knew hair loss would happen but now I know why! Thanks!

Thanks, great info to share.

Thank you! I am almost 3 months post surgery, and my hair has been coming out in a mass exodus! Very comforting article...

Nioxin hair care products...yes expensive but works...my once bald spots now are full of new follicles and full. My daughter is a stylist and has used me as a poster child for the product

I am a year out and I cut my hair short so my thinning hair wouldnt be so noticable but good news, I can see new growth!! It is about 2 inches so it has been there for a bit. My hair is thin and fine anyways...but if you keep up on getting your protien in...yay
