What is the best way to stop hair loss after bariatric surgery?

Few things possible: Hair loss after bariatric surgery may be related to a number of things. Make sure proteins are a good part of your diet. Vitamin losses especially b vitamins and c can contribute - take a multivitamin and check your levels. Thyroid inactivity can also contribute so have your TSH and thyroid level checked.

Zinc, biotin,protein: Hair loss is temporary after bariatric surgery. Zinc, biotin, and protein can minimize the amount of hair loss. We have had many patients use rogaine (minoxidil) for 2-3 months with immediate cessation of hair loss.
