So if anyone knows exactly which body chemicals change during the post op process, my doctor had said usually your bodies chemicals change and balance out in about 3 weeks and some people it takes longer.

But i have been unable to find any thing concerning these changes, i know one chemical change causes the hair loss in some and thinning of hair in others..etc....

You know Brian your surgeon or nutritionist should give you an answer to this question.

I do know that if you don't get enough Protein daily that will effect hair loss or hair thinning.

I have been taking chewable Biotin since I could take Vitamins after surgery. You get them from Twinlabs and they are called Biotin Dots.

They reason you take vitamins and supplements is because we don't absorb the nutrients from our food because it goes through us quickly. I'm sure you know that you must take them permanently to stay healthy.

Well that's all I know.

I don't know if this helps or not but again ask the experts who deal with this everyday.

Take care.

Your body gets thrown into ketosis after surgery which may make your body smell different. This is major surgery and throws your body into a state of shock. It will eventually level out again.
