A sales director who lost six stone after her gastric surgery has revealed how the trauma of the operation made her lose nearly half of her hair. 'The doctors explained in advance of the operation that hair loss was a fairly common side effect of such major surgery', says Victoria. Victoria lost her hair due to Telogen effluvium, which is a form of temporary hair loss that usually happens after stress, a shock, or a traumatic event. 'I know men suffer hair loss all the time and, for most of them, it is permanent, but female hair loss is much more traumatic. 'He was a rock throughout all the trauma of my hair loss and never stopped telling me how beautiful I am.'
