I started losing mine around the forth month and it continued to around the ninth month. My doctor said that I should be drinking at least 46 oz. Of water a day and most important is to get around 70 grams of protein a day. I went to gnc and bought protein bars and shakes. Stay away from the shakes with glutamine(sp.?) in them, they really made me sick. It will get better and you will not go bald. I was so worried about it, but as soon as I started getting all the protein and really drinking my water it started to improve. Oh and whatever you do, do not dye or highlight your hair, it is already to fragile don't put chemicals on it. Take care and good luck,

Hair Loss After Gastric Bypass
I had hair loss from 4-8 months after my surgery and what I did to help the hair grow was to take 1500mg of biotin a day. Biotin is a "b" vitamin that helps nails and hair grow. It really worked. I also told one of my co-workers that had the surgery to use it, and it worked for her. Good luck...
