It has been 2 yrs since I have had my surgery .I was 369 before surgery and got down to 260 but I have gained 36 pounds back. but that not my problem. My hair won't stop falling out and i was wondering if any other gastric bypass patients had this problem. i see my surgeon the 1st so i am gonna bring it up to him. any ideas or advice.

It could be a few things that is causing hair loss. Medications your on and stress and also it is a side effect of the surgery as well so I would ask the doctor if their was anything I could do to slow it down or help prevent it. I know they have some protein based shampoos that might be of some help if used regularly and maybe up the protein in diet and eat yogurt. I deal with some hair loss myself mine is due to Psorisis though. Maybe also changing to a different viamin might help or add to the vitamins your taking. I do hope that you get a answer from someone the doctor or soomeone here that has been through it. Good Luck!
