hair loss

hi, I'm 4 months out, have lost 63 pounds. I feel great ,,,but my hair is really starting to fall out! I knew this was a possibility, but it sucks. The good news is that I have (HAD!) very thick hair so no one really noticed but me, but it's really happening. Every time I wash it a good chunk of hair comes out, and there are strands of hair in my sink and in my hairbrush daily. My surgeon said it's form rapid weight loss and will eventually stop. Is this true? Anyone have a tips to help me out?

Thanks!
