I would like to know about hairloss after gastric bypass surgery and how often it happens. is there a lot of lost and does it grow back.

Hair Loss and Stress: There is often a lot of hair loss after surgery. This is called telogen effluvium and due to the stress of surgery and anaesthesia. This shedding will eventually stop and your hair will re-grow. You need to be patient since it could take a year.
