I have been having the same problem as well..had surgery about 4 months ago(4/3/07) and have lost about 50lbs and had really really thick, long, curly hair past my waist and it was falling out in gobs. My Nurse practioner at the doctors office suggested a hair cut, and to make sure you are taking your daily multi vitamin and also suggested I try a hair and nail vitamin as well. I cut 8 inches off and started taking the extra hair and nail vitamin and it does seem to be starting to slow down. Hopefully it will stop soon, my husband is getting upset that I keep clogging the drain more than usual :-)
