Hair loss

I had a gastric bypass on April 8th. Total weight loss since starting the process.... 120lbs. That's fantastic, even if I do say so myself! Lol. But I'm going bald. I'm losing so much hair! I'm taking the bariatric multivits twice a day, bariatric calcium wafers twice a day, B12 two a day & biotin. I bought $40 Nioxin shampoo & conditioner to help with thinning hair. Protein intake is great, usually 80 + a day. Have any of you found anything to help?

      I started losing hair at 5 months and at 8 1/2 months am still losing. I did everything right, have lost weight slowly, ate healthy, and nothing made a difference. I think I was dumb enough to think

    I have already decided that I will just have to buy a wig and hope for the best.

    I tell you what, I don't care if I lose every hair on my head to get rid of this weight. I will rock some wigs till that crap grows back. My little Asian beauty supply store guy will go CA CHING when I walk thru the door. I could care less

    Hahahahahahaha. I like you.

    Hair loss after the surgery is common. So consider hair skin and nail vitamin for easy recovery.
