Almost 12 months post-op and what little hair I have is falling out.

When were your last labs?  Do you have copies to be sure you aren't dealing with deficiencies?  Vitamin A, B6, B12, calcium, iron, Vitamin D, magnesium --- can all cause hair loss as can low protein levels.

Have you had labs done lately? 

How much protein do you eat?  Are you taking your iron and B12?

Thanks for responding Kelly. Next labs on the 12th. I take B12 daily along with Celebrate Multi and Calcium. I'm getting in 70 - 100 gr of protein daily.

Are you taking the Celebrate multi without iron?

When you get your labs done, I would make sure they order iron, ferritin, B12, and zinc.  Those are things that might cause hair loss.  And they  should do a CMP and pre-albumin to make sure you're getting enough protein.
