Improper diet is the number one reason to cause hair loss. that is the fact.

That was almost 2 years ago.  I'm sure it isn't a problem now

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.

 Interesting when an old post like this gets revived.  Thinninghairhq who brought it back has no other posts and has a link to Nioxxin.  Hmmmm....

My 2 cents is that you may lose some hair after wls, but probably don't need any kind of supplement.  My hair started shedding at about the 3 month point, and continued for several months.  I never noticed much of a difference on my head, but I had a lot more hair in the shower drain, and on the bathroom floor after blow-drying.  Then, at some point (7-8 mo. out?), I started seeing all these little baby hairs coming back in.
