Biotin is a good vitamin that will help. Also msm and panothenic acid.Help...I am losing my hair.?
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....
