Has anyone experienced hair loss after an ostomy?

I also lost 40 lbs! After my Ostomy surgery but unfortunately I also had to deal with a nicked intestine and infection along with it.
I started really lose my hair then. I’m at the point of buying wigs it’s so thin. Lots of pink scalp.
Do you think the ROUTINE shampoo is helping?

@pidge32 I had remembered a friend told me her hair was thinning and so I contacted her to ask what she did about it. She is the one who recommended ROUTINE shampoo and conditioner for thinning hair. I had been looking at ads for it online, but hesitated trying it until she mentioned it. I figured it probably was gentler on my hair. I have been using it, but also got on supplements like Biotin, Zinc, B12, C and E. A friend who has alopecia recommended Pure Pumpkin Seed Oil, too. I don't know which things are working, but I have begun to see a row of short hair (at my hairline) underneath my skimpy old bangs!! I also think my high protein diet is helping too.
