Hi Lynn and Maryann,
The hairloss is a scary thing, but I think it is part of the body's reaction to the stress that surgery and a big change in diet and lifestyle can bring.
Make sure you keep up the
protein. I knew that this was what seemed to help other WLS people who were facing this problem. I made sure to always eat a good amount of protein each day and I had very little hairloss. It may sound extreme to some but I ate between 60-90 grams of protein daily. I used shakes to supplement what I couldn't eat since I have a Lap Band.
I hope this helps
