Help...I am losing my hair.?

I had gastric bypass surgery in 1999 and ever since, I am losing large amounts of hair when I brush it or wash it. Luckily I had thisk hair to start with. Is there a vitamin that I am lacking? I read vitamin C but is this true? What can I do to prevent this?

Hi,

This is called Telogen Effluvium and it is common after Gastric Bypass surgery. But you are 7 years out of the operation, so I guess this has not so much to do with it anymore... Anyway, Zinc and Biotin supplement should help....
