I'm 3.5 weeks out from bypass so the jury's still out on whether it was a good decision, but that was my decision process.

the vast majority seem to be very happy with their decision to have bypass (and I'm one of them!) - so you're likely to be as well!

I hope so! It is really motivating to see people like you who have lost all the weight and kept it off.

both can cause it - which is probably why it's seen more after bariatric surgery than it is after other major surgeries (because it can be a side effect of any major surgery). If you google telogen effluvium, you'll find lots of info about it and what things can cause it. Here's one article focused mainly on it as a result of surgery:
