Dammit! I had my surgery on Feb 28 so am exactly 5 months out, and I have been noticing loose hairs hanging in my eyes and on my desk, etc, and although it doesn't really look thin yet, I am definitely losing hair at more than the normal rate.
I have actually been eating very healthy - getting a lot of fruits and veggies, lean meats, sensible portions and taking a daily Multivitamin pill. I did slack off some on my Protein in the past month, but have still been having a Protein Bar or shake on most days.
I read what they had to say about hair loss after bariatric surgery here:
Patches (cost be damned) to minimize the hair exodus. For the rest it sounds like it's just be patient and keep doing the right things.
