Hair loss?

I am7 months post op and the last two months my hair is crazy falling out. I'm down 116 pounds and try so hard to get my protein everyday in case that is why. Even hitting my protein goal I'm still losing it bad. I thought they said that around this time it was supposed to turn around but my seems to have started and is very rapid. Anybody else having this issue. So nervous.

I had my surgery on 8-4 and am losing hair too. I make sure I am hitting my 60 g protein and take biotin supplements, seems like a lot of hair though, never had this issue before surgery, Always had thick hair.

I lost hair from 3-9 months post surgery. I was taking Biotin and switched to Viviscal at the recommendation of my doctor. It seemed to help more that the biotin did. My hair loss also slowed down when I was out of the rapid weight loss phase.

Viviscal has a hair growth supplement for women (pink box) and Men (gray box). They are usually sold in the hair care aisle vs. the vitamin aisle. It worked better for me if the biotin is not helping you - you take 2 supplements daily. It is also sold on Amazon if your local drug store doesn't carry it. Where I live, Walgreen's carries it.
